Iso–Hop Extract 30%
Clear, pale amber to yellow aqueous solution of the potassium salts of iso-alpha acids.
OVERVIEW
Isomerized Hop Extract 30 % (Iso- Extract) is an aqueous solution of the potassium salts of iso-alpha acids produced exclusively from CO2 hop extract.
Iso-Extract can be used post- fermentation to adjust bitterness or to partially replace conventional hop products used to impart bitterness.
Iso-Extract is typically added prior to filtration and has the highest yield of all hop products.
FLAVOR
Iso-Extract produces a clean bitter flavor. It can be used as a partial replacement for kettle hopping. Iso-Extract is primarily used to adjust the final bitterness of beer. Noticeable changes in the bitter flavor of beer may be observed if more than 30 – 40 % of the total bitterness is contributed by Iso-Extract.
