Description and Goal of the Procedure  #

The HausCraft system uses hop extracts to help naturally flavor the beer with hop bitterness and aroma.  Bitterness comes from additions of either Pre-isomerized pellets or Isohop, an extract of hop iso-alpha acids which give a clean bitterness that balances the sweetness of the malt.  Hop Oil is used to give the beers fresh fruity, citrus or floral flavors.  By following the instructions below you can make sure you are supplied to use these products in your beers.
