Abstrax Omni Woody Citrus (5ml)

Abstrax Omni Series Woody Citrus Terpene Profile

The Omni series represents a breakthrough in consistency, utilizing advanced botanical analysis to map over 500 compounds from exemplary hop lots. Woody Citrus is specifically engineered to replicate a “perfect” Citra® profile, focusing on the vibrant interplay between bright citrus zest and soft, resinous woody undertones. Unlike the Quantum series, which is directly extracted from hop biomass, Omni is a fusion of hop-derived and natural botanical terpenes. This “rebuilt” approach ensures the flavor remains identical year after year, regardless of crop variability. The crystal-clear, water-soluble emulsion disperses instantly, making it ideal for the latest stages of production. By omitting chlorophyll, lipids, and waxes, it provides a clean, “kiln-dried” hop aroma without any vegetal bitterness or “green” off-flavors, while simultaneously eliminating yield loss and the risk of secondary fermentation.

Key Benefits

• True-to-Type Consistency: Replicates the aroma of a premium Citra® harvest without seasonal drift.
• Hyper-Concentrated: 1 mL provides an aromatic impact equivalent to approximately 30 g of T-90 pellets.
• Yield Protection: Being a liquid, it does not absorb product, potentially increasing yields by 5–30%.
• Zero Hop Creep: Contains no enzymes, ensuring final gravity remains stable after addition.
• Water-Based Solubility: Disperses instantly in cold beverages without specialized equipment or oils.
• TTB Approved: Formulated with natural ingredients and ready for professional label compliance.

Applications

• Brewing: Ideal for IPAs, Lagers, and Pale Ales. Add at the coldest point (brite tank) to lock in fresh citrus aromatics.
• Winemaking/Cider: Perfect for dry-hopped ciders where clarity is vital. Imparts a sophisticated citrus layer without adding haze or sediment.
• Distilling: Use to flavor hop-infused gins or botanical spirits. It provides a clear, consistent citrus punch that won’t cloud the final spirit.
• Non-Alcoholic: The “gold standard” for hop-waters and NA beers, offering full hop flavor without bitterness or fermentation risks.

Typical Usage

• Standard Dosage: 10 mL to 15 mL per hL (100 L) of finished beverage.
