wills15 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi Guys, I am curious to find out if anyone has tried a product called hop sensation, which is supposed to be 100% hop extract, it comes in a liquid form, and you add a little at a time after fermentation has finished and just before you bottle,you keep adding until you get the flavour that you are after, my lhbs has started stocking it and I am wondering if anyone has tried it and is it any good .

The Captain!! Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 My LHBS doesn’t stock anything like this unfortunately. Sorry I cant help but it does sound like the hop resin, or LuPilun??? Products out there. Think Ben 10 has dabbled in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 The resin is for bittering and well good. The Lupulin is a green material thing and used as per normal hops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Mate nothing bad will happen, she’ll be right. Just taste as you add to your tastes and try to over do it a little as it’ll fade a little with time. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Anyone used the cascade, mosaic, columbus or simcoe hop resin extract stuff in a plunger for late additions and whirlpool for aroma and flavour?

I got told years back, by an industrial chemist who had decades working in the brewing industry, that hops extracts make 2nd rate beers. Mind you, if I had listened to all he told me I would never have gotten into home brew - he made it sound like an incredibly complicated and delicate process. I think he was building his beers by individually hand-crafted molecules. Edited July 3, 2021 by Journeyman 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make it taste less vegetive I am almost in the same boat but want to get all the bittering, flavour and aroma from 1 addition, the whirlpool and thought these might help with the veggie taste. I get some hop burn from a lot of my beers and want to see if this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Yeah I don't know, but I was hoping since they had mosaic, simcoe and cascade it would bring some flavour and aroma. I am going to try to find some here in Oz and give it a go. Worse case scenario the beer tastes horrible...might try it on an unbittered extract batch 1st go and see what it brings, to save on the time side if I don't use it right .

ben 10 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Sorry, worked. The resin is VERY VERY good, provides a good clean big hit, really great flavour too. I have used the cryo hops in a recent brew - Citra - and they are AMAZING, @The Captain!! perhaps use resin for bittering then cryo late and you should get massive flavour with minimum vegetable crap 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a little bit of T90 just to give it some vege but less that normal. I’ve used a heap of Cryo in the past and yeah it’s pretty bloody awesome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
