As hard as it is to believe, it’s unlikely you’ve ever brewed or tasted a beer with the full flavor and aroma of hops. First, whole hops never impart all of their flavor and aroma compounds, and pelletized hops infuse beer with even less. If you thought CO2 hop extracts were the ultimate flavor and aroma solution for hops, think again. While CO2 hop extraction was a significant advancement, it still damages some of the delicate aroma compounds of hops.
Ultimately, even the most advanced brewing practices can alter or lose aromatic compounds from whole hops. Research shows that only 10% of the volatile compounds survive the brewing process and make it into a finished beer. That means 90% of that flavor and aroma never gets experienced.
The brewing industry simply hasn’t had the capability to capture the authentic flavor and aroma of varietal-specific hops… until now.
Optimized Hop Extracts resolve common brewing issues, improve brewing efficiency, and reduce logistical costs by an order of magnitude. Most importantly, they capture delicate compounds that are normally lost so you can craft the best-tasting beers the industry has ever experienced.
Consistently Brew Better-Tasting Beer with Optimized Hop Extracts
Unlike CO2 hop extracts, optimized hop extracts like the Quantum Series and Omni Hop Profiles don’t contain any bittering acids. These are flowable liquids with a 100% utilization rate designed to preserve the most volatile aromatics for varietal-specific flavor and aroma. Compare the flavor and aroma of these products to other options, and it’s like night and day.
The Quantum Series is 100% hop-derived, and varietal-specific, and delivers the finest aromatics that authentically reflect hops in a way no other hop extractions can. It’s only comparable to other advanced hop products in that they’re both derived from hops. Other than that, Quantum outperforms other hop extracts in every way. It tastes better, performs better, and it’s easier to use.
Unlike CO2 extracts, the Quantum Series is created using advanced ultra-low temperature extraction. This ensures that every last drop of flavor and aroma is extracted from whole hops and pellets. That means no formulations and no averaging of other oils. Quantum is just vibrant flavor and aroma with no undesirable compounds.
Omni Hop Profiles are created with terpenes extracted from sustainable botanical sources. The aromatic profiles of hop varietals are chemically mapped and cloned using these terpene isolates along with other compounds. This means that any hop from any place at any time can be consistently replicated.
It also means that Omni Hop Profiles are a true living record of specific hop samples that won’t be impacted by things like seasonal flavor drift or industry shortages.
When you brew with Omni, it’s just the consistent flavor and aroma of your preferred hop year after year. Plus, brewers can even customize Omni Hop Profiles and skip multiyear breeding programs. With Omni, you’re in the driver’s seat.
Improve Brewing Efficiency and Reduce Costs with Quantum & Omni
Not only are these optimized hop extracts cost-effective (Quantum is half the price of T90s), but these collections provide an unprecedented level of efficiency. From recipe development and production timelines to ingredient sourcing and COGs, Quantum and Omni are turning the brewing paradigm on its head.
Aside from their ease of use, these products offer significant logistical cost-savings, labor savings, and more. For example, imagine you have a 1,000-pound order of T90 pellets. That means shipping, unpacking, refrigerating, and ultimately using a total of twenty-two 44-pound boxes. The Omni equivalent is just four gallons — minimally packaged in lightproof glass and aluminum bottles. There are no boxes, foil, or other junk to throw away.
This reduces the shipping, storage, waste, and labor requirements by an order of magnitude compared to whole hops or T90 pellets. On top of that, these products are liquid and have nothing to soak up potential beer and impact yield, they require only a fraction of the dosing you’d typically need, the lack of undesirable plant compounds means no cleaning gunk from the tank, and they don’t require refrigeration before opening and can even be used at room temperature.
Optimized Hop Extracts are the brewing solution the industry has been waiting for.
