Several varieties of hop have been satisfactorily extracted using liquid carbon dioxide in a plant operating on the 1 kg scale. The extracts have been used in small scale (0·6 and 16 hl) and production scale (700–800 hl) brewing trials where both ales and lagers were produced. All beers were of sound quality and could not be distinguished organoleptically from controls brewed with either hops or commercial hop extracts.
