Beer-Related Scented Candles

[crbrown25]

I'm not ashamed to admit that i quite enjoy a scented candle. If i were to pitch a scent to Yankee Candles it would be...Boiling Wort. I guess it's not a coincidence that i'm currently 40 minutes into the boil of a blonde ale. What other scents should we pitch?...

Freshly cut hops

Definitely boiling hops.

 

[JohnGonk]

Definitely some kind of hops...like a sweet citra!

I wonder if you could take some soy wax and melt it down then just toss in some hop cones...

I think the best way would be to butane-extract oils from the hop cones, and them mix that into melted wax once the butane evaporated off.

Why butane in place of CO2?

I don't personally have experience with CO2.. Will it take out the oils?

That is how most of the brewing industry makes hop extract products. I am not familiar with butane extraction but I assume it is similar to liquid CO2 extraction. So Yankee should be able to use the already available hop extracts.
