New Toll Processing service revolutionizes hop utilization for brewers, while New Zealand and Australian hop varieties bring exotic flavors
IRVINE, September 9, 2024 – Abstrax Hops, an industry leader in botanical flavor innovation, is proud to announce the launch of its new Toll Processing service - a game-changing solution for brewers to maximize the efficiency and flavor potential of their existing hop inventory. Alongside this, Abstrax is expanding the Quantum Series to include highly sought-after hop varietals from the Southern Hemisphere, including Nectaron®, Nelson Sauvin®, Motueka®, Galaxy®, Eclipse®, and Vic Secret™.
The new Toll Processing service allows brewers to send their own hops to Abstrax, where they are transformed into a concentrated Quantum Brite format. This cutting-edge service is designed to significantly reduce storage and handling costs while increasing the potency of hops - turning a small hop inventory into, on average, a fivefold increase in dosing power. Meaning that brewers who send in 1,000 lbs of hops can expect an average dosing equivalent return of 5,000lbs. This results in about half the price compared to using T90 pellets on a dosing-equivalent basis - for five times the return. Brewers can dramatically boost their flavor outputs and streamline operations without expanding their hop inventory.
Key benefits of the Toll Processing service include:
"Our Toll Processing service represents a huge leap forward for brewers looking to maximize their hop resources while maintaining superior flavor control," said Jim Ringo, VP of Sales and Marketing at Abstrax. "Brewers can now convert their existing hops into an efficient, powerful format, at lot sizes as small as 132 lbs, offering them unprecedented flexibility and savings."
In addition to the new Toll Processing service, Abstrax is expanding the Quantum Series product line with six premium hop varieties from the Southern Hemisphere, providing brewers with access to complex, exotic flavors. These hops have been carefully selected for their bold, tropical, and citrus-forward profiles, offering brewers innovative ways to differentiate their craft brews.
Among the new additions:
"These Southern Hemisphere hops are globally recognized for their vibrant, intense flavors, and we’re thrilled to offer them in our Quantum Brite format," said Ringo. "This expansion not only allows brewers to explore new flavor dimensions but also provides them with the consistency, potency, and affordability that the Quantum Series is known for."
With the introduction of the Toll Processing service and the expansion of the Quantum Series, Abstrax Hops is redefining what’s possible in the brewing industry. These innovations empower brewers to create exceptional beers more efficiently while unlocking new opportunities to push the boundaries of flavor.
