Abstract
An improved method of making hop oil is described involving steam distilling the hop oil under vacuum at a temperature not exceeding 50.degree.C. The distillate can be collected by cooling to less than -20.degree.C. The collected distillate or hop oil extracted therefrom can be used in beer making processes to give beer having a hop character very similar to that obtained by dry hopping.
