I checked the WHO monograph on hops:
http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/documen...f#page=244
for ways to modify the effect of hops by using an extract. Extracts in alcohol (95 %) are estrogenic, but not sedative. Extracts in oil are estrogenic too, so I'm not sure if an extract in alcohol has all the estrogenic compounds in it.
The sedative and central nervous system depressant properties are found mainly in methanol extracts. But OK, since methanol is very toxic, nobody's going tu use these anyway.
