Quantum Brite Citra – Hop-Derived Terpene

Terpene Hop Oil extracted from Citra hops.

Flavor and Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Tropical

CIT Quantum Series จาก Abstrax Hops เป็น สารสกัดเทอพีนจากฮ็อพ (CITRA®) ในรูปน้ำมันฮอปที่ช่วยเติมกลิ่น รสให้เบียร์ โดยผู้ผลิตแนะนำว่าช่วงเวลาที่เหมาะสมกับการเติมที่สุดคือก่อนบรรจุผลิตภัณฑ์

Quantum Series เน้นเรื่องกลิ่นและรสชาติ ไม่ใช่ความขม (ไม่เน้น Alpha Acids) การเติมลงไปจึงไม่เพิ่มความขมในเบียร์ ด้วยความเข้มข้นที่สูง อัตราเติมที่แนะนำและนิยมใช้กันคือประมาณ

ปริมาณการใช้ที่แนะนำ 1.5ml – 10ml ต่อ 20 ลิตร (0.075ml – 0.5ml ต่อลิตร)

จุดเด่นของ CIT Quantum Brite – Citra Hop-Derived Terpene:

There is no more successful hop in the modern history of beer than Citra.

Bred to bring balanced, spicy woodiness and citrus notes together with a high alpha backbone to create an instant classic.

In practice, brewers have used anywhere between 1.5ml – 10ml per 20L (0.075ml – 0.5ml per liter)

Optimized Hop Extracts

Rethink what an extract can do.

Compared to other hop-extracts, the Quantum Series tastes better, performs better, and is easier to use. It works with everything from Pils to Porters with no special handling required. Gone are the days of warming up your extract or scrubbing the sticky gunk out of your equipment.

Compared to hops and pellets, the Quantum Series offers a 100% utilization rate and can be used at any stage of the brewing process. It cuts down on shipping and storage costs by an order of magnitude, not to mention the labor savings from not having to lug boxes around.

How to Use Quantum Brite
We recommend that you add Quantum Brite at the coldest and latest point in the process – the brite tank.
Adding to the brite tank enables precise flavor control in the final beer, eliminating the risk of aromatic compound loss from additional processing.

This method also prevents flavor alterations caused by yeast activity and biotransformation.

Comparing Quantum
Compare Quantum Brite to T90, whole hops, and other popular dry-hop aroma oils on the market today.

Quantum Brite offers similar ease-of-use benefits as other hop extracts, but goes way, way further in terms of flavor, aroma, and handling.

We have also had brewers reduce or replace their usage of T90 pellets because Quantum just tastes better. Take the challenge and see which beer you prefer.

Quantum Tastes Better
When you get down to it, nobody wants to use a product that makes their beer taste like garbage. Extracts have taken a bad rap because they can often add more problems than they solve and, frankly, they don’t always taste the greatest. We fully get it. That’s why, above all else, flavor and aroma come first with Quantum.

The Quantum Series is an evolutionary leap forward in aroma and brewing technology.

T90 Aroma Transfer
When using pellets you can never be certain of exactly how much flavor and aroma will be imparted into the beer.
It’s dependent on the varietal, the aroma content within the varietal, how the hops were processed, when the pellets are added, how long the pellets sit in solution, the temperature, whether there is yeast in solution, whether the tank is agitated, how often the tank is agitated, the alcohol content of the beer, and even what the tank geometry looks like.

All of these factors (and more) determine how aroma from hops/pellets will be imparted into the final beer.

100% Efficient Aroma Transfer
Quantum Brite drastically increases the efficiency over pellets and whole hops.
Quantum Brite is a flowable liquid that goes directly into your brite tank. It disperses immediately and completely into solution with 100% efficiency.

Other extracts recommend their addition to the secondary-fermentation step so that “the magic of brewing” can occur. Quantum works without any agitation or hocus pocus necessary. Just immediate aroma.

Lost Beer, Lost Money
Hops and pellets are biomass. They will always soak up some amount of liquid, reducing your total output of beer.
Tank losses range from 5-30% whenever you use hops or pellets. You’re losing 5-30% of your potentially sellable beer, 5-30% of your overall revenue, to soggy trub.

Depending on what you’re making, you’re also potentially looking at lengthy times steeping the pellets to impart the full aroma.

Zero Yield Loss Immediate Results
Quantum is a liquid so there is absolutely nothing to soak up potential beer. It goes right into your brite tank with no agitation or special handling needed.
Putting it another way, you are gaining gallons of sellable beer that would have otherwise gone down the drain.

Since Quantum is immediately dispersible, you’re also saving significantly on dry-hopping times. Forget steeping T90s for a week to fully impart the flavor.

Just add Quantum Brite and you’re done.

Quantum Brite
Quantum has been designed to outperform today’s options in every regard.
Quantum goes right into your existing workflow with no modifications required. Each product is a true-to-type varietal-specific extract. We aren’t creating mystery blends or averaging the oils from other hops. You know exactly what you’re getting and what you can expect on the other side. Quantum is less expensive than any other option on the market. Compare the price of Quantum to T90, whole hops, and other extracts. And, most importantly, Quantum just tastes better. Our process removes the nasty chlorophyll, lipids, and waxes that often pollute the flavor and aroma of hops, pellets, and other extracts.

Any way you slice it, Quantum is an evolutionary leap forward.

30% Greater Shelf Life
Greater shelf life means more beer sold and less money spent on buybacks.
Oxygen is the enemy. When dry hopping with hops and pellets, they introduce oxygen into your beer, shortening its shelf life. Moreover, hops and pellets inherently possess proteins, lipids, and chlorophyll – components that can oxidize over time, leading to off-flavors. This not only alters your beer’s intended flavor profile but can drastically reduce its shelf life.

Our extraction technique eliminates these unwanted compounds right from the start, ensuring they never make it into your beer. Without the nasty precursors, and without retained oxygen, we’ve observed a significant shelf life extension of 90-120 days, all while maintaining the beer’s true flavor without any off-notes
