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.

Abstrax Qantum Brite Series FAQ'S

DO QUANTUM EXTRACTS REQUIRE SPECIAL HANDLING? 
No. Add Quantum during your regular dry hop without any workflow changes. Although it is water-soluble and dissipates immediately, Quantum benefits from a residency time of 3-5 days for full integration. Reminder, there’s no need to warm them up before use since Quantum is flowable above freezing temperatures.

CAN I DOSE WITH QUANTUM EARLY IN THE FERMENT?
Yes! Quantum is 100% water soluble and micro-stable, and so presents the opportunity to dose at any point in your cold side process. We have seen the best results for flavor matching when Quantum is dosed at the same time as your standard dry hop, but there is room to experiment with dosing earlier or later in the process to promote biotransformation or to dose-to-taste in your brite tank. Our recommendation for experimentation is always to start small and build on success! If you’re adding pre-ferment, don’t add more than 0.25gr/L. 

CAN I ADD QUANTUM TO SELTZERS AND OTHER NON-BEER BEVERAGES?
Absolutely! Quantum offers craft beverage creators a chance to push boundaries. Perfect for hop waters, seltzers, and non-alcoholic beers, Quantum unlocks new possibilities in flavor, allowing you to offer something truly unique. Contact us and we’ll walk you through it. 

HOW DOES QUANTUM PROMOTE BREWING EFFICIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY? Quantum provides a truly remarkable reduction in the environmental footprint needed for hop products. Our extraction methods promote reduced water and land use for farmers, and our minimal packaging and lighter shipping weights contribute to lower CO2 emissions. Plus, not needing to refrigerate before opening reduces the demand for cooling resources.

HOW DOES QUANTUM COMPARE TO OTHER HOP EXTRACTS ON THE MARKET? Quantum is only comparable to other advanced hop products in that they are both derived from hops. Outside of that, Quantum is higher amplitude, more efficient, and more cost-effective than anything else in the advanced products category.

DOES QUANTUM HAVE THE SAME AROMA TRANSFER AS T90?
The Quantum Series has a 100% efficient aroma transfer. While you can never be certain of how much flavour and aroma will be imparted into the beer when using hops or pellets, Quantum extracts are flowable liquids that disperse immediately and completely. Just add to your brite tank and get immediate aroma. 

HOW DOES QUANTUM OFFER ADDITIONAL COST SAVINGS?
In addition to being more affordable compared to T90, whole hops, and other extracts, Quantum's logistical costs are reduced by an order of magnitude. Quantum weighs less, costs less to ship, takes up less space, and has no yield loss. That means reduced shipping and storage costs, labor savings, and increased beer output. Plus, we’ve seen a 30% increase in shelf life, which means selling more beer and saving on buybacks.
