Owly you're probably looking for hop oil not extract. As said above, Yakima is far cheaper for extract. It still needs to be boiled to make it soluble.

I had thought that the hopshot was basically oils extracted with supercritical CO2.
These large quantity extracts could be extremely useful to have when voyaging and brewing, as they are compact and concentrated, and clearly a little bit goes a long way. I'm if anything more interested. This seems a potentially good way to package hops, as one can obviously represents a LOT of hops. The question that comes to mind is what hops are used, and does the character come through true. For example can I buy Cascade or Hallertau, Northern Brewer, or Nugget, or Amarillo or Mosaic, etc....

Oops........... wrote before reading. I went to Yakima Valley and it describes the product as being 60% Columbus, and 40% blended "aroma varieties". It also says 1ML will produce 10 IBU in 5 gallons. Unfortunately it is sold by weight, not volume, so how many ML are in 100G? I will buy a can and try brewing a batch with it exclusively. Bittering addition, followed by "dry hopping" right in the keg, or just prior.
Anybody here play with this stuff yet? I mean seriously experiment with it rather than just using it for bittering........

ANOTHER EDIT
My questions are pretty much all answered at the Beersmith website. Below is a snipped of the article that is pertinent to this product. Note that 100G is actually quite a small can, as one gram is roughly equivalent to 1ML.

Using CO2 Hop Extract
The most widely available hop extracts for home brewers are CO2 extracts. These include popular products sold under brand names such as “Hopshot”, “Hop Jizz”, and commercial CO2 hop resins sold in 100 ml cans. For home brewers, these are often packaged in 10 ml syringes, with dosages measured in milliliters. While alpha content can vary, the most popular brands have an alpha content of approximately 60-65%. CO2 extracts preserve much of the original hop aroma, and are a suitable replacement for traditional hops.
CO2 extracts are not isomerized, so you need to boil them just like regular hops to get bitterness. To estimate the bitterness added, you can treat them as a regular hop addition with an alpha content equal to their alpha concentration. For the popular brands this is 60-65% alpha, so I might add a new “Hopshot” hop entry with 65% alpha acid to develop a recipe.
For simplicity you can use the approximate density of 1 gram for 1 ml of hop extract. So adding 1 ml or 1 gram of 65% alpha extract boiled for 60 minutes to a 1.050 OG beer gives around 10 IBUs depending on your exact equipment losses and equation used.
