Isomerized Hop Extract is used to replace kettle bittering hops to improve hop utilization, or to adjust bitterness in beers that may have been under-hopped in the kettle. For precise control of beer bitterness, Isomerized Hop Extract should be added post-fermentation to adjust the bitterness of the beer to the target bitterness units. Hop shots will only add more bitterness not necessary more hop profile.
- Provides a smoother bitterness due to absence of tannins and vegetal matter
- Longer shelf life than pellets
- No wort loss from hop absorbtion
Calculate your bittering addition with the following formula:
IBUs = ( ml Extract * Extract Alpha Acid % * 1000) / Liters of Wort
