    Is Pliny the Elder brewed with hop extract?

    It uses hop extract for the early kettle additions (as mentioned) to reduce the amount of wort lost to the hops, and sugar to dry it out more. The horror.

    I just listened to a brewing podcast (2010, I think?) with Vinnie talking about it. They use hop extract for the bittering, and pellets for mid boil and finishing :slight_smile:
