  Isomerized hop pellets         


Author: F. George McDuffee

Given the world-wide shortage of hops and the resulting rise in
prices/shortages, why is there not more effort to supply
isomerized hop pellets to the home brewer, and/or more demand
from the home brewer for hops in the form of isomerized pellets?

While the use of whole hops and long boils are traditional, "time
marches on," and the ability to both reduce boil time [for
isomerization] and the quantity of hops required [utilization and
flavor hops can contribute significant bittering when isomerized]
appears to be very attractive.

Does anyone know where home brewer quantities of isomerized hop
pellets and/or hop extract can be purchased in the US?

If you are not familiar with isomerized hop pellets a few sites
