Composition Emulsion made from Molecular Distilled Hop Oil, containing essential oil of hop and a small amount of hop resin in aqueous emulsion with food grade emulsifiers. Oil content is standardised to 2,500ppm (0.25%) by volume.

Emulsion made from Steam Distilled Hop Oil, containing essential oil of hop in aqueous emulsion with food grade emulsifiers. Oil content is standardised either to 1,000ppm (0.1%) or 10,000ppm (1.0%) by volume and the emulsion is suitable for use in light-stable beers.
Use An amount of emulsion corresponding to 1 to 2 ppm oil is preferably metered into the beer stream before or after conditioning but before final filtration. Alternatively, the emulsion may be added directly to the cask during filling and before the addition of finings.
