Troops,
After listening to the interview with Vinnie last weekend and doing some digging I've decided to get a new product in; Iso Extract
This is a hop extract, not the exact same as what Vinnie uses. It isn't what other breweries use as well when they use clear bottles and want to prevent skunkiness. IT IS is produced from CO2 extract and contains only purified isomerized α-acids.
There are formulas for calculating the amount to use on a homebrew level, and it basically adds pure, clean BU's without flavor. This is to be added post fermentation, post filtration (if you do that).
Iso Extract will be in a 1oz brown glass bottle with a dropper built into the lid, like fermcap-s is oftentimes in. There is a formula to it's usage I found online that I condensed a bit:
About 1.38 ml for adding 10 BU's to 10 gallons finished beer, with about 20 drops per ml thats approx 28 drops, which makes one bottle about enough to add 10 BUs to about 21 batches of 10 gallons of beer.
Iso Extract is essentially the same product as IsoHop.
The listed price will be about $29 for the 1oz bottle
ETA: I expect this to be available to order within 2 weeks, the Nikobrew family will be out of town (celebrating little Niko's 1 year bday already!) that weekend (feb 3-6th we'll be gone) so it would ship upon our return.
If anybody here has used isohop and would like to give some feedback it would be appreciated, as well as any questions. Thanks!
