ChristinaS1 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Wow. What will they think of next? Not sure why they would bother developing this. How would you dose them? I don't think this spells then end of hops. Hops are way too complex, and there is still much about them we don't know. Cheers, Christina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 My son, who has just completed his Chemistry PhD, alerted me to this article. Clearly it’s all about a different method for getting particular compounds into beer, but we agree it’s an industrial process rather than the craft approach that we favour.

[/quote'] I agree , proper beer brewers will always use hops but I reckon the megaswill manufacturers will be all over this when its perfected. It might be a few years down the track but where there's a financial will there's a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
