I just ordered some Apollo hop shots from Yakima Valley for bittering - anyone ever try to use one as a late addition?

[dmtaylor]

Yep, I've done this.  It works quite well.

I've used the generic Hop Shots before for late and dry hops and was less than impressed. It seemed pretty generic/bland/flat. But I'd definitely give it a try if it was a single varietal.

How much did you add?

[dmtaylor]

I used the equivalent of 2.5 oz (however much that is) at flameout.  It works.  It is sticky though.

I know someone who used single variety hop shots for flavoring an imperial IPA and won 2nd BOS at a competition.

Hmm, I guess I could work out the equivalent by figuring out how much Apollo pellets it would take to get the same IBU's I was looking for.

formula is on the hopunion website.  easy stuff.  1mL= 2AAU i think (?).

I just checked the web site and the hop shot is just a generic hop liquid. Where on the site did you find apollo hop shots?
Thanks,

I was wondering the same thing. I'd really love a way to cut down on the hop matter in my kettle on my IPAs.

Same here. A little less hop matter would be nice on IPA.

Bertus Brewery blog has a post on buying extract in bulk and filling syringes with them - cheap and easy way - I believe $25 for 130ml of hop extract and then the syringes are cheap.  Just FYI.

I asked Yakima Valley, they said theres were Apollo. By the way, how do you guys store it, refrigerator?

good to know - that's probably where i will buy some.

yes - refrigerator is what I've seen recommended - it will last for 'years' apparently. 

[dmtaylor]

Yes, my HopShots have kept just fine for many years in the refrigerator.  Still effective as the day they were born (well, for all practical purposes anyway).
