Abstrax Quantum Brite CIT Hop Extract 5mL
Hop Extract
Pure Citra hop flavour, concentrated and naturally isolated from Citra T90 hop pellets.
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.
Abstrax® CIT Quantum Brite is a high performance hop extract crafted from T-90 Citra® pellets, designed to deliver the full flavour and aroma of Citra hops without the undesirable plant compounds found in traditional hop matter. Using 100% hop-derived terpenes, Abstrax precisely replicates the tropical, wood, and citrus notes of premium Citra® hops, ensuring consistent, high-quality results with every batch.
The high-potency aromatics of this American hop are punchy, fresh, and oh-so loveable. Ideal for IPAs, pale ales, and fruit-forward styles, CIT Quantum Brite offers intense aromas of Citrus, Grapefruit and peach.
Unlike traditional hop products, it eliminates variability caused by crop year, growing region, storage conditions, and processing methods. 1mL of Quantum Brite delivers the same flavour and aroma punch as approximately 28g of T-90 pellets, and 5mL of Quantum Brite is equivalent to 150g of T-90 pellets.
Usage:
Quantum Brite can be used either as a full replacement for your usual pellet hops or in combination with them. We recommend starting with a 50% substitution of your typical dry hop charge. In order to impart the most flavour possible we recommend adding quantum Brite after fermentation has finished or adding directly to the keg. Ensure to minimise or eliminate introducing oxygen into the beer while adding. Once opened, use promptly or flush with CO₂ and store cold. We recommend storage between 4°C and 20°C. Do not freeze.
