RHO ISO Extract 10%
A pure, aqueous solution of the potassium salts of reduced (rho) iso-alpha acids produced entirely from CO2 Extract
OVERVIEW
Rho – 10% is a clear, aqueous solution of the potassium salts of reduced (rho) iso-alpha acids that is especially suitable for direct injection into beer
Rho – 10% provides protection against lightstruck flavour when used as the sole source of bitterness or in combination with other light stable hop products.
Rho – 10% is prepared from CO2 Hop Extract by a special process that ensures substantial elimination of water-insoluble impurities that may reduce utilization values
FLAVOR
Rho – 10% provides only bitterness to the beer. Many brewers consider that rho-iso- alpha acids impart an especially pleasant, “soft” bitterness to beer.
