Abstrax Quantum Mosaic (118ml)

Abstrax Quantum Series Mosaic® Hop Extract

Quantum Mosaic® provides a true-to-type aromatic experience by isolating the specific terpenes that define the Mosaic® variety. Through a proprietary ultra-low-temperature process, Abstrax preserves volatile compounds—including blueberry, papaya, and rose—that are often compromised during high-pressure CO2 extraction. This liquid solution is designed for cold-side application, where it disperses instantly to provide a vibrant, multi-layered hop punch. Because it is free from chlorophyll and lipids, it maintains the clarity of the beverage while preventing the “green” or vegetal off-flavors common with heavy dry-hopping. It is highly efficient; a small volume replaces massive quantities of pellets, freeing up cold storage and eliminating the risk of hop creep. This makes it an essential tool for high-gravity IPAs and clear, aromatic beverages.

Key Benefits

1. 100% Utilisation: Zero absorption loss; every drop contributes to the final flavor profile.
2. Brighter Flavors: Free of waxes and lipids for a punchier, “cleaner” aromatic presence.
3. Zero Hop Creep: Contains no enzymes or fermentable sugars, preventing secondary fermentation.
4. Logistical Efficiency: Drastically reduces storage footprint and shipping costs (28 ml replaces approx. 900 g of pellets).
5. Superior Clarity: Free from waxes and lipids, helping maintain beverage brilliance.
6. Consistent Quality: Eliminates crop-year and farm-to-farm variability.
7. Sustainability: Reduced biomass waste and lower carbon footprint through concentrated shipping.

Applications

1. Brewing: Best used in Hazy IPAs, West Coast IPAs, and Fruit Beers as a post-fermentation aromatic spike.
2. Winemaking/Cider: Ideal for dry-hopped ciders, adding complex fruit and berry notes without increasing turbidity.
3. Distilling: Infuse gins or flavored spirits with consistent, resinous, and fruity hop character.
4. Non-Alcoholic: The gold standard for hop-waters and seltzers, providing a crystal-clear, aromatic finish.

Typical Usage

1. Equivalency: 1 mL of Quantum Brite replaces approximately 28 g of T-90 pellets.
2. Standard Dosage: 10 mL to 15 mL per hL (100 L) of finished beverage.
3. Substitution: Recommended to replace 50% of the dry-hop pellet charge initially.
4. Benchtop Trials: 0.065 mL to 0.25 mL per Litre to determine aromatic intensity.
