Product Usage Instructions

Why Choose Omni Hop Profiles?
Omni Hop Profiles offer varietal-specific aroma without any unwanted elements like acids, chlorophyll, lipids, or waxes. They are water-soluble and TTB- approved for easy integration into your brewing process.

How to Dose Omni Hop Profiles

1. Start with a benchtop experiment using a micropipette at a rate of 0.25 oz/bbl (0.065 mL/L).
2. For a pint-sized batch, try one drop of Omni per pint to begin with. Adjust dosing between 0.5 and 2 oz/bbl based on desired aroma intensity.
3. For club sodas or sparkling waters, a maximum of 1 oz/bbl is recommended due to Omni’s hyper-concentrated nature.
4. Allow the dosed liquid to sit for 24-48 hours to achieve the desired aroma profile.
5. For comparative tasting, dose one of the 5 mL vials into a keg and monitor the flavor evolution over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do Omni Hop Profiles compare to traditional hop forms?

A: Omni Hop Profiles offer varietal-specific aroma without any undesirable components found in whole hops or other extracts, providing consistent and scalable flavor every time.

Q: Can Omni be used in non-alcoholic beverages?

A: Yes, Omni's water-based formula makes it perfect for use in hot water, NA beers, and other non-alcoholic beverages without impacting clarity or flavor.

Q: Is there a risk of flavor loss during the dosing process?

A: No, Omni's liquid form ensures 100% utilization with no yield loss, allowing you to enjoy the full aroma potential of the hops.

OPTIMIZED HOP EXTRACTS

BREW BEER OR HOP WATER WITH CONSISTENT TRUE-TO-TYPE HOP FLAVOR

LOCK IN THE AROMA OF ANY HOP, FROM ANY PLACE, AT ANY TIME

• Omni Hop Profiles make seasonal flavor drift and supply inconsistencies a thing of the past. Using next-generation technology, we’ve chemically mapped and cloned the aromatic profiles of hop varietals using terpene isolates from sustainable botanical sources. That means we can consistently replicate the smell of any hop from any time and place.
• Simply add Omni to the coldest and latest point in the process (i.e., the brite tank) and brew with consistent, scalable recreations of the original hop. No cost or flavor fluctuations and no complicated brewing strategies. Just the same flavor and aroma of your favorite hops — with a fraction of the dosing you’re used to.

WHY OMNI

• Comparing the flavor of Omni Hop Profiles to T90, whole hops, and other extracts is like night and day. Omni is varietal-specific and built entirely for aroma without any acids, chlorophyll, lipids, or waxes that might impact the final flavor. Plus, with a dosing equivalency of 0.5 oz = 1lb T90, you can replace up to 70% of your cold-side hopping bill.
• With no ethanol or alcohol needed to carry the flavor through, these water-soluble TTB-approved profiles can go right into your existing workflow without any modifications. Crystal clear emulsion means no added haze, making it perfect for hot water, NA beers, and more. And with nothing to soak up potential beer, there’s no yield loss.
• Want to recreate the best Citra® ever harvested? Capture the flavor of an endangered hop? Done and done. Curious about customizable profiles? With Omni, you can skip the multiyear breeding program and craft new hop flavors based entirely on your palate.

EASY BENCHTOP DOSING

WANT TO INSTANTLY UNDERSTAND OMNI’S FLAVOR IMPACT?
THE FLAVORS INCLUDED IN YOUR OMNI SAMPLE KIT CAN BE DOSED DIRECTLY INTO PACKAGED BEER OR CARBONATED WATER, SO GET CREATIVE!

• Using a micropipette, start benchtop experiments with a 0.25 oz/bbl dosing rate (0.065 mL/L).
• Put more simply, try one drop per pint to start. In practice, brewers have used anywhere between 0.5 and 2 oz/bbl.
• Since Omni is hyper-concentrated, you likely won’t need more than 1 oz/bbl for club sodas or sparkling waters.
• Consider dosing Omni in a growler and tasting after 24-48 hours to allow the terpenic edge to mellow out.
• Want to compare it to a control beer throughout a keg’s shelf life? Dose one of the 5 mL vials in your sample kit into a keg and taste the difference!

ADD OMNI TO EXISTING WORKFLOWS NO MODIFICATIONS NECESSARY

WITH A DOSING EQUIVALENCY OF 0.5 OZ = 1 LB T90S, OMNI CAN REPLACE UP TO 70% OF YOUR COLD-SIDE HOPPING BILL.

• MEASURE
  Depending on your dosing techniques, measure or weigh the required amount into a jug or beaker. If you’re dosing by weight, these products have an average density of around 1.002 g/mL.

• FLUSH WITH CO2
  Begin purging your headspace or dosing vessel with CO2 to reduce oxygen ingress.

• ADD TO TANK OR DOSING VESSEL
  Add directly to your tank or dosing vessel. For precise flavor control, we recommend adding Omni as late in the process as possible (i.e., in the brite tank). This eliminates the risk of aromatic compound loss from additional processing while preventing flavor alterations caused by yeast activity and biotransformation. However, there is nothing to say that you can’t use these extracts earlier in the process to actually promote biotransformation and reduce early-stage hop loads that may prevent a healthy yeast harvest.

• HOMOGENIZE
  While Omni Hop Profiles disperse quickly, recirculate or rouse your tank to ensure homogenization.

OMNI HOP PROFILES FAQs

• HOW ARE OMNI HOP PROFILES CREATED?
  Using one of the world’s most advanced machines for botanical analysis, we map and clone the compounds that contribute to a hop’s unique flavor and aroma profile using terpenes from sustainable botanical sources. This method ensures a consistent and scalable recreation of the original hop’s flavor and aroma.

• WHY WOULD I USE OMNI OVER REGULAR WHOLE HOPS OR PELLETS?
  Omni is more shelf-stable and offers consistent, scalable flavor and aroma year after year. It requires only a fraction of the dosing you’d typically need, and it won’t impact yield since it doesn’t absorb liquid volume like traditional hops. It’s also just way less expensive.

• CAN I DO IT WITH OMNI EARLY IN THE FERMENT?
  Yes! While we recommend dosing at the end so you know exactly how it’ll taste, dosing earlier also has benefits. Omni has biotransformation potential, so dosing earlier allows you to experiment with how yeast transforms the final aroma profile. Plus, while added hop material makes yeast “unharvestable” for brewers who dry hop early, using Omni can reduce early-stage hop loads that may prevent a healthy yeast harvest.”

• HOW DOES OMNI COMPARE TO OTHER HOP EXTRACTS ON THE MARKET?
  Omni has no undesirable plant compounds, doesn’t stick to the tank, can be used at room temperature, and doesn’t require refrigeration before opening. Plus, Omni makes it possible to brew the same great-tasting beer every year with no seasonal flavor drift.

• WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OMNI HOP PROFILES AND QUANTUM?
  Quantum Series products are derived solely from hops, while Omni Hop Profiles are derived from both hops and botanical terpenes. Thanks to our analytical mapping capabilities and botanical formulation expertise, Omni Hop Profiles are true living records of specific hop samples that can be recreated forever.

• HOW DOES OMNI AVOID SEASONAL FLAVOR DRIFT?
  Using the world’s most advanced botanical analysis machines, we chemically map a hop’s unique flavor and aroma and then recreate it using terpenes. Since our terpenes are sourced from both hops and botanicals, we can consistently recreate hop profiles without relying on ingredients prone to seasonal drift.

• CAN YOU CUSTOMIZE AN OMNI HOP PROFILE?
  Yes! Our analytical capabilities allow us to skip the multiyear breeding program and frankenhop something that’s never existed before. Want a Citra® with more citrus? A danker version of Strata®? Create custom Omni Hop Profiles based entirely on your palate.

WHAT BREWERS ARE SAYING ABOUT OMNI
“Abstrax is not only offering highly soluble and incredibly efficient terpene extracts – priced below actual hops for equivalent dosage – but they’re also offering opportunities for professional brewers to map out the flavors and aromas of their favorite selected hops and “bank” that profile, which could then be re-created via terpenes in the future. Wish you had some of last year’s Mosaic®? Now you can order up a reasonable facsimile whenever you need it.”
