Innovative Brewing Techniques with The Gas Hopper

This chapter explores the use of hop extracts in brewing and the challenges associated with traditional hopping methods like dry hopping and whirlpooling. It introduces The Gas Hopper system, a two-vessel setup that transfers aroma compounds from hops to beer without the vegetative material touching the beer, using temperature differentials and compound volatility. The chapter discusses experiments involving hop additions and temperatures, highlighting the versatility of the gas-hopping device in modifying beer flavors and aromas compared to traditional methods.
