Lupulin Powder

[McMullan]

There was interest in isolating lupulin glands for brewing back in the 1960s. It didn't seem to develop beyond a patent. I wonder why? My guess is isolation of lupulin from hops is too inefficient for brewing requirements. I can't see how the process could be 100%, which would probably mean more hops being used. An expensive niche product for hopheads discontent with their hop smoothies?

'Smoothie': a thick, smooth drink of fresh hops pureed with dysfunctional yeast and lots of raw oats. Ready in a week ('Turbo Craft')

Not sure if you were joking but this has been around for a while too...

I was joking, but it doesn't surprise me It doesn't top whale bollocks, though

ha! there was more than a moment i thought that was serious..

lupulin powder? just feels wrong. may be very convenient in time, for others, but i'm seriously thinking of putting a 6" porthole in my keggle just to watch the flowers go round..

I'm sure it'll have benefits for some heavily hopped styles, but it isn't a replacement for conventional hops. I'll give it a whirl at some point.
