I have only used Incognito that my homebrew club got from a local craft brewery. They has a small out leftover so some club members got 25mL. It sticks everywhere! I found that heating it up with hot water helps. Adding some hop pellets at the same time helped as well as the oil bonds to the vegetal matter and helps with dispersion.

Super sticky!!! And I had the Centennial, soaked it in hot water, and it still wouldn’t come out! Didn’t think about the pellets helping with the oil! I do think that whenever I use this again it will be paired with pellets, cheers 🍻

I've only played with co2 extract hop oil but been wanting to try some of the other ones! Awesome vid

Thanks dude!!! They’ve got a place but I don’t think they’ll ever replace pellets completely

I use the hop shot and Incognito regularly and love it. What I like to do with the Incognito is take some hot wort right before cold crashing, add the incognito to the fermenter and pour the hot wort on it, swish it around and let it sit while chilling the beer down. Gives some very nice flavor and aroma. Haven't tried Spectrum yet so no comments to share.

A fun idea to use only special hop products. I've used Incognito personally and it is still the most hop expressive beer I've ever made. Love that stuff. Enjoy the fruits of your labor my friend. Cheers!

I do find it funny that hop extracts where the enemy and now home brewers have found love for them.

Loved the beer review portion of the video:) I have to try some of these hop extracts sometime.

Thanks dude!!! Be prepared for a sticky mess…they seem to work great but I’m not sure they’ll ever replace hop pellets!

well said about the carbonation. I always do the same thing when making my hazy. I always taste after dry hop and always feel like I need to do more, then once I carbonate the aroma and flavor just punches. Normally I dont second dry hop, but this time I just decided to do a second dry hop.

It’s like the 5th ingredient in beer!!!

Will these products replace hop pellets in beer?….probably not….but there is a place for them and many positive features like having more beer after dry hopping!!!

Solid video! I love using Spectrum with Thiolized Yeast. Pitch it side by side and let it rip, lol.

Awesome, now I'll have to try some of that!!

Cool, we can’t get any of those products in Denmark yet. I can se how they can male things more simple in combo with cryo and T90 😊

Yeah, I've always felt very strongly that carbonation is to beer what salt is to food. Some needs more than others, and others need less, but flat beer is like unseasoned food.

Talk about carbonation all the time with family and friends when it comes to my homebrew and how it changes the flavor of the beer.

Maybe I shouldn’t really say change, not sure if that’s the right way to express what goes on during carbonation. Its nit something I also thought about when I use to bottle all my homebrew. I now keg everything and that’s how I come to notice what the carbonation process adds to the beer.

Great to watch after I did perhaps the most trad stout I could lol

What better way to relax after cleaning up the home brewery! Love your content, keep it up!

Cheers from Madera, CA ....interesting point on the carbonation topic!...It seems the extracts probably need the CO2 really activate. I wonder if they are best used for dry hopping?

I am all for innovation and pushing the boundaries of brewing. But sometimes, you shouldn't try to reinvent the wheel.

How did the nearly 100% Vienna taste for the pale ale? I've been thinking of doing a SMASH with Vienna and American or NZ hops.

Oh it is fantastic!!! It’s root shoot Vienna and I’m really looking forward to a 100% Vienna lager with it next!!!

I've seen some other youtubers/brewers say they had oily residue at teh top of their brew. Did you find this? Separately, do you trust it over adding hops the standard way? I feel like I would miss smelling them pre-addition too much

@ElementaryBrewingCo

4 ай бұрын

Yes super oily and sticky!!! Made clean up a bit tougher actually. And I will not be ditching pellets at all! I will be trying the spectrum again but I’d like to pair it with some pellets during a dry hop to see how it does when paired with them!

Do you think the dry hop addition adequately mixed into the beer or did you stir? I’ve used these products and it was a bitch to clean up the kettle and fermenter… I needed alcohol to break down the film. May have to try it again. Thanks.

Oh man it is super sticky! I had the same problem and clean up really sucked! I did not stir it in as I didn’t want to risk oxidation. There’s a video on their channel that shows them swirling it and adding…the risk of oxidation seems to high!

Hey Brian is your fermenter chest freezer a 5cuft or a 7cuft? Just curious because I noticed your all rounder fits completely inside.

I would like to use incognito in dip hopping. Do you think that it can work?

@ElementaryBrewingCo

Only 1 way to find out!!! Funny I just brewed this morning and dip hopped, didn’t use incognito though. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work!

​@@ElementaryBrewingCo Thanks for you to replay my message !!! The reason why I think that I might be had the trouble is because I have no idea if the incognite will dissolve in the wort during the dip hooping processes or not. That's because the temperature of whirpool process keep 80 degree C, and the wort keep stirring. Meanwhile, I read someone said it will be better to use it pair together with small amount of T90. I am thinking the process as follows. # Added Incognito on the T90 hops, and then add 80 degree C wort to mix them to be the dip hopping process So, Do you think that it is ok? Any suggestion for the Incognito in the dip hopping processes. Super Big thanks !!! Footnote The purpose for me to think about to use Incognito in dip hopping are as follows. 1. Boost up the hop flavor 2. Regarding something limitation, I can only bottle the beer 12 days after the dip hopping process and cannot do the dry hopping. In this way, I think use Incongtino can make less grass or bad effect when leave the hop in the wort too long.
