The Quantum Series is a suite of hop-derived, varietal-specific solutions utilizing our innovative, ultra-low temp extraction technology to create the finest, most aromatic hop extracts on the market.
Unlike CO2 processing, which has been optimized for the extraction of alpha at the expense of aromatics, our Quantum process has been designed from the ground up to preserve the most volatile aromatics.

Seriously, don’t just take our word for it. Grab a sample pack and experience the future of hop extracts for yourself.
The Quantum Series represents the greatest progression in advanced hop products since the introduction of CO2 extraction in the late 1960's. Never before have hops had the opportunity to show their best characteristics as they do now.
Compared to other hop-extracts, the Quantum Series tastes better, performs better, and is easier to use. It works with everything from Pils to Porters with no special handling required. Gone are the days of warming up your extract or scrubbing the sticky gunk out of your equipment.
Compared to hops and pellets, the Quantum Series offers a 100% utilization rate and can be used at any stage of the brewing process. It cuts down on shipping and storage costs by an order of magnitude, not to mention the labor savings from not having to lug boxes around.
This is an evolutionary leap forward in brewing technology. It’s a whole new ballgame. Let’s start with these simple bulletpoints for Quantum Brite.
Compare these to the flavor of other extracts and it’s like night and day.
Quantum is immediately dispersed into solution. Less wait, more beer.
Quantum weighs less, costs less to ship, and takes up less space.
Quantum is a liquid so there is nothing to soak up potential beer.
Compare the price of Quantum to T90, whole hops, and other extracts.
Easily flowable at cool, ambient, and warm temperatures. Seriously.
There are no acids in Quantum. These are built entirely for aroma.
Quantum is varietal-specific and not an averaging of other oils.
“It’s been few and far between finding anything that compares to the kind of expression we’ve been getting from Abstrax products.”
Quantum goes right into your existing workflow with no modifications.
No chlorophyll, lipids, or waxes to pollute the delicate flavor/aroma.
Sending trub down the drain is literally sending money down the drain.
A drastic reduction in
total hop material to impart flavor & aroma.
Use “hops oil” on your ingredient list. No natural flavors claim needed.
Quantum won’t impart any hop creep or cause lightstruck off-flavors.
Quantum comes in lightproof bottles with
no need to refrigerate.
We’ve seen a 30% increase in shelf life due
to reduced oxidation.
Adding to the brite tank enables precise flavor control in the final beer, eliminating the risk of aromatic compound loss from additional processing. This method also prevents flavor alterations caused by yeast activity and biotransformation.
½ fl oz of Quantum Brite = 1 lb of T90
Start small: Try dosing Quantum Brite into a pint of your pale ale to see how it works.
Quantum Brite offers similar ease-of-use benefits as other hop extracts, but goes way, way further in terms of flavor, aroma, and handling. We have also had brewers reduce or replace their usage of T90 pellets because Quantum just tastes better. Take the challenge and see which beer you prefer.
When you get down to it, nobody wants to use a product that makes their beer taste like garbage. Extracts have taken a bad rap because they can often add more problems than they solve and, frankly, they don’t always taste the greatest. We fully get it. That’s why, above all else, flavor and aroma come first with Quantum.

Click for Custom Quantum“The Quantum Series from Abstrax absolutely rules. The hop aroma and flavor are unbelievable. I haven't found any other hop product that produces such a pure bright hop expression. The cost savings are also a great bonus, but I'm far more excited about how fun the flavors are to play with.”
Tyler Thurman Head Brewer | Highland Park Brewery
Over the last few decades, the industry has recognized the drawbacks of using whole hops and has overwhelmingly shifted over to pellets like T90 and T45. These have been a revolutionary solution that has greatly increased the efficiencies and ease-of-use for brewing.
It’s dependent on the varietal, the aroma content within the varietal, how the hops were processed, when the pellets are added, how long the pellets sit in solution, the temperature, whether there is yeast in solution, whether the tank is agitated, how often the tank is agitated, the alcohol content of the beer, and even what the tank geometry looks like.
All of these factors (and more) determine how aroma from hops/pellets will be imparted into the final beer.
Quantum Brite is a flowable liquid that goes directly into your brite tank. It disperses immediately and completely into solution with 100% efficiency.
Other extracts recommend their addition to the secondary-fermentation step so that “the magic of brewing” can occur. Quantum works without any agitation or hocus pocus necessary. Just immediate aroma.
Tank losses range from 5-30% whenever you use hops or pellets. You’re losing 5-30% of your potentially sellable beer, 5-30% of your overall revenue, to soggy trub.
Depending on what you’re making, you’re also potentially looking at lengthy times steeping the pellets to impart the full aroma.
Putting it another way, you are gaining gallons of sellable beer that would have otherwise gone down the drain.
Since Quantum is immediately dispersible, you’re also saving significantly on dry-hopping times. Forget steeping T90s for a week to fully impart the flavor. Just add Quantum Brite and you're done.
Quantum goes right into your existing workflow with no modifications required. Each product is a true-to-type varietal-specific extract. We aren’t creating mystery blends or averaging the oils from other hops. You know exactly what you’re getting and what you can expect on the other side. Quantum is less expensive than any other option on the market. Compare the price of Quantum to T90, whole hops, and other extracts. And, most importantly, Quantum just tastes better. Our process removes the nasty chlorophyll, lipids, and waxes that often pollute the flavor and aroma of hops, pellets, and other extracts.

“Another great thing about your products we’ve noticed is that pricing, compared to potency, is by far the best in the industry. Other products we’ve tested cost a bit more and
usually take twice as much to reach acceptable aroma levels.”

Aside from its improved flavor and ease-of-use, Quantum offers significant logistical cost-savings, labor-savings, and a truly remarkable reduction in the environmental footprint needed to create hop products.
Farmers can shift their focus to sustainable farming practices over yield maximization. This leads to reduced water and land use, minimized packaging, lighter shipping weights, and substantial transportation cost savings, all contributing to lower CO2 emissions. Additionally, not having to refrigerate Quantum (before opening) slashes demands on cooling resources.
The outcome is a much more sustainable ecological future, marked by a greatly reduced environmental footprint, achieving cost savings and environmental benefits simultaneously.
Consider this: a 1,000lb order of T90 pellets means shipping, unpacking, refrigerating, and ultimately using a total of twenty-two 44lb boxes. The Quantum Brite equivalent is just 4 gallons - minimally packaged in lightproof glass and aluminum bottles. There are no boxes, foil, or other junk to throw away.
Taken altogether - the shipping, storage, waste, and labor requirements are reduced by an order of magnitude when compared to whole hops or T90 pellets.
Oxygen is the enemy. When dry hopping with hops and pellets, they introduce oxygen into your beer, shortening its shelf life. Moreover, hops and pellets inherently possess proteins, lipids, and chlorophyll – components that can oxidize over time, leading to off-flavors. This not only alters your beer’s intended flavor profile but can drastically reduce its shelf life.
Our extraction technique eliminates these unwanted compounds right from the start, ensuring they never make it into your beer. Without the nasty precursors, and without retained oxygen, we’ve observed a significant shelf life extension of 90-120 days, all while maintaining the beer’s true flavor without any off-notes.
Quantum drastically reduces waste, easing your brewery’s management and environmental impact. Say goodbye to the hassle and cost of disposing packaging waste such as boxes and foils.
Sending all of that trub down the drain can mess with the quality of your wastewater, which leads to secondary water treatment. In other words, it’s literally just pouring money down the drain. Just one less thing for you to have to manage.
Quantum’s advanced extraction methods require significantly less hop material, enhancing the flavor and aroma of your beer while supporting sustainable farming practices. This leads to a healthier environment with reduced water, land use, and CO2 emissions.
Not just eco-friendly, Quantum is also cost-effective. It’s lighter, occupies less space, and eliminates the need for refrigeration, slashing logistical costs. Enjoy a remarkable 30% increase in shelf life thanks to our technique that prevents oxidation and off-flavors, ensuring your beer retains its true taste. Plus, Quantum’s liquid form dramatically reduces waste, easing your brewery’s management and environmental impact.
Switch to Quantum, and join the revolution in brewing - less waste, lower costs, and a commitment to the planet.

“We did our experiment with Quantum Brite Cascade in our Pale Ale and, in a blind setting, everyone preferred the one using Quantum Brite. We’re developing an American IPA that uses a large amount of hops. Being a year-round beer, we’re looking at ways to increase efficiency, and using Quantum Brite is high on our list.”
