Hey everyone
So I am trying to get a feel for how widespread the use of hop extract is in commercial craft brewing.
There are quite a lot of products on the market now, such as pure (distilled) hop aroma oils, concentrated iso-alpha acids, concentrated lululin and so on, but I haven't been able to find out how many actually use it.
I know for a fact that guys like Mikkeller use hop extracts for some of the bittering, but I don't know about "dry"-hopping.
So, do any of you guys use hop extracts for aroma as well as bittering, or just bittering or just aroma? If yes, what products do you use?
I find that for many of the NEIPA's, you need so many hops in the dryhop, that you end up losing a lot of beer to the hops, in terms of absorption, so an alternative would be very nice.
Thanks!
