There are several methods for dosing CO₂ hop extract successfully. Two common methods include adding an open or perforated tin to a grant during runoff or mixing it with hot water or wort in a secondary vessel and pouring the resulting mixture into the kettle for boiling. The alpha acids in CO₂ hop extract are not isomerized until they are boiled during the kettle brewing process.

Testimonials
I have been a big believer in CO₂ Extract as a bittering addition for many years! We love using Simcoe and/or Mosaic Extract in most of our West Coast IPAs, Pale Ales, and big Double and Triple IPAs, and enjoy the clean, saturated bitterness we get. I found that our hop flavor and bitterness remain intact throughout the lifespan of our beers when we employ hop extracts in the kettle, and it's likely something we'll always continue doing in our hoppy beers.
