Formulae used for calculating hop and hop extracts rates for economical and sufficient hopping.Peer-reviewed article

V. ČERNOHORSKÝ

The author comments briefly various mathematic formulae which have been elaborated for calculating hop and hop extract rates for economical and sufficient hopping. The discussed formulae are based upon the analyses of the composition of hop bitter substances and take into account their effects upon the arganoleptic properties of beer, as well as limits to which they can be utilized in practice. The survey shows, how the opinions as to what is the optimum hop rate been gradually revised and adjusted.
