The Future of Brewing Is Quantum

The Quantum Series is the most significant advancement in hop products since the introduction of CO₂ extraction. From recipe development and production timelines to ingredient sourcing and COGS, Quantum is turning the brewing paradigm on its head.

These next-generation hop extracts are comparable to other hop products only in that they’re all derived from hops. Quantum offers higher-amplitude flavor/aroma and is more efficient and cost-effective.

Crafted from the ground up using ultra-low-temperature extraction technology, the Quantum Series is built entirely for aroma. It has zero undesirable plant compounds, no alpha acids, and requires no special handling or changes to your workflow. It offers the purest, true-to-type hop flavor and aroma you can find.

The Quantum Advantage

Water-soluble and flowable at any practical temperature, Quantum can be used at any stage of the process with immediate dispersal and a 100 percent utilization rate. That means nothing to soak up beer, no yield loss, and an overall increase in beer output. And because Quantum is an extract, it can increase the shelf life of your beer by 30 percent because of reduced oxidation. That means you can sell more beer and save on buybacks.

Speaking of saving money, Quantum is more affordable than T90 and whole hops. The savings don’t stop there, though. Quantum’s logistical costs are reduced by an order of magnitude. It weighs less, costs less to ship, and takes up less space. That means reduced shipping, storage, and labor costs, not to mention that all of the Quantum varieties are identically priced, so you don’t have to pay a premium to impart the flavor and aroma from those more popular or scarce hops.

Plus, while you can never be certain how much flavor and aroma will be imparted into the beer when using hops or pellets, the Quantum Series has a 100 percent efficient aroma transfer. And with a dosing equivalency of 0.5 oz = 1 lb T90s, Quantum can replace up to 70 percent of cold-side hopping bills.

As if that weren’t enough, Quantum’s advanced extraction methods require significantly less input material to produce an even greater amount of flavor/aroma than you’d get from comparable hops or pellets. Brewers can enhance the flavor and aroma of their beer while supporting sustainable farming practices, which leads to a healthier environment with reduced water and land use and fewer CO₂ emissions. Its liquid form also dramatically reduces waste and environmental impact.

Add Quantum to Existing Workflows—No Modifications Necessary

Skip pellet steeping, save dry-hopping time, and forget about having to warm extracts before use. Quantum extracts require no special handling, no additional equipment, and no workflow modifications. They don’t even need to be refrigerated before opening.

Depending on your dosing technique, measure or weigh the required amount into a jug or beaker. When dosing by weight, Quantum extracts have an average density of around 1.002 g/mL. Begin purging your headspace or dosing the vessel with CO₂ to reduce oxygen ingress, and then it’s time to get started.

Step One: Add Quantum to the Brite Tank. There Is No Step Two.

We recommend adding Quantum as late in the process as possible for maximum flavor control. This eliminates the risk of aromatic compound loss from additional processing while preventing flavor alterations caused by yeast activity and biotransformation.

While dosing at the end lets you know exactly how the beer will taste, dosing earlier also has benefits. Quantum has biotransformation potential, so dosing earlier allows brewers to experiment with how yeast transforms the final aroma profile. Plus, while added hop material makes yeast “unharvestable” for brewers who dry hop early, using Quantum can reduce early-stage hop loads that may prevent a healthy yeast harvest.

Once you’re finished, you don’t even have to scrub sticky gunk from your equipment. You can drastically reduce your tank turnover times with Quantum.

Process Your Hops into Quantum

With a finite shelf life, your aging hops cost much more than their initial price. Let Abstrax Hops process them into your very own Quantum extracts to extend their shelf life and increase the efficiency of what you already own. Flavor lock is no longer a challenge because they are your hops.
