Skyfarm is Abstrax Hops’ line of innovative, fruit-forward natural flavor products for brewing beer and craft beverages.

These have been built from the ground up using botanically sourced terpene isolates to deliver incredible fruit flavor and aroma. Whereas many flavorhouses rely on essential oils which are inherently variable, the skyfarm series reliably produces a consistent and dependable flavor to your beverages.

Simply put - the skyfarm series is a collection of the most aromatic fruit flavor top notes.

Kinda but not really. Just like a car and a tractor are kind of similar, the skyfarm series goes way beyond purees and concentrates in terms of flavor, aroma, and handling.

First off, there’s no sugar or color added from skyfarm. Which also means that there are no calories imparted and absolutely no risk of refermentation. Purees usually impart some level of haze to your beer whereas skyfarm doesn’t contribute any haze. There’s also no solid waste to remove, no need to refrigerate prior to opening, no yield loss, and no seasonal or batch variability.

With skyfarm you’re not getting any of that grandma’s perfume, potpourri, floral junk. Also none of those “cooked” off-flavors or overly ripe notes, for example.

The skyfarm series is built with terpenes for the ultimate flavor consistency, ensuring the same bright flavor in every season.

Other fruit top notes can be synthetic, rank, or overly candy-like. Dosing rates between flavors (even within the same brand or company) can vary by degrees of magnitude. And there is always the ever-occurring problem relating to consistency of flavor.

Abstrax has endeavored to solve these problems by constructing the skyfarm series with terpene isolates, guaranteeing a degree of control over the process that has not previously been explored.

We also have a world-class flavor dev team who, quite simply, makes consistently incredible stuff.

Nope. There is no need for special handling and you don’t have to make any modifications to your existing workflow. You don’t even need to refrigerate it before opening. You can save storage space too since skyfarm comes in opaque bottles instead of boxes and bags.

Thanks to skyfarm’s unique water-based emulsion, you can instantly understand the flavor impact by dosing them directly into packaged beer or carbonated water.

Start your benchtop sensory experiments with a 0.04% dosing rate (0.4 mL/L or 1.59 oz/bbl). Feel free to work your way up to around 0.07% at the high end. At least, that’s what has worked for us.

We recommend adding skyfarm as late in the process as possible (i.e. in brite tank). While skyfarm disperses quickly, ensure complete homogenization by recirculating or rousing your tank.
