Magic Hop Dust

[Quyzi]

I saw it today at AHS ( http://www.austinhomebrew.com/Beer/Pellet/Magic-Hop-Dust.html )

Has anyone tried using this stuff in a brew? I'm curious how it would come out. If using it, would it be better to use it for bittering or flavoring or aroma?

I cannot read their website that well as it does not like opera, but it looks as if it is 99 cent an oz

you can buy bulk hops cheaper so I am not sure what the draw is

I wonder if they will be selling magic beans next ?

all the best

That is an interesting concept. That is just the lupulin dust at the bottom of the bulk bags. On the really big bags (44#) there is quite a bit of dust down there. Could be fun to brew with.

They don't really tell you what it came from so I would only use it for fun. I guess you could use it for biter/flavor/aroma and see what happens?!

They say that they collect the dust from all their hops and pack it together as the magic hop dust. Sounds like a way to make a beer you can't reproduce easily

When cold-hopping(not dry), some plant material persists in floating; maybe as a powder, all particles are same size, and may settle completely.
