I'm seeing more on hopshots/CO2 Hop Extract and wondered more about it.
One interesting thing is that there doesn't appear to be any information regarding what hops are used for the extract. While small, even bittering additions of pellet/leaf hops have different characteristics despite the fact you are boiling off all your oils. You can tell minor differences between using a warrior bittering addition verses centennial. How do you quantify this when utilizing hop extract?
Most extract comes in cans and many people transfer this to syringes to help with measuring. How do you then store these? Do you freeze? Vacuum and freeze? Refrigerate? How long does this keep? Is it sensitive to light?
