How to Use

Dosing Guide

  • 0.5ml of Quantum Brite = approximately 15g of T-90 hop pellets
  • You can replace up to 70% of your dry hop additions with Quantum Brite
  • For a standard 23L batch, typical dosing would be 1.5-2.5ml when replacing 50% of your dry hop

Equipment Needed

  • Small measuring syringe (1-3 ml) or pipette
  • Small glass or stainless steel container for measuring
  • CO2 (optional but recommended)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Test Batch (Recommended First Step)

Before using in a full batch, try this simple test:

  • Add 0.065ml per liter of beer or carbonated water (or one drop per 475ml/pint)
  • For a 330ml bottle, this means just a single small drop
  • This will help you understand the impact on flavor and aroma

2. Full Batch Instructions

  1. Preparation
    • Sanitize your measuring equipment
    • Have your fermenter ready for cold crashing
    • Bring Quantum Brite to room temperature if refrigerated
    • Shake the bottle well before use
    • Calculate your required amount based on the recipe’s dry hop quantity
  2. Measuring
    • Using your syringe or pipette, measure out your desired amount
    • Note: Product density is approximately 1.002 g/ml if measuring by weight
  3. Addition
    • Add during cold crash when your beer is at its coldest (1-4°C)
    • If possible, purge the headspace with CO2 to minimize oxygen exposure
    • Add directly to your fermenter or keg
  4. Mixing
    • The extract will disperse quickly but needs proper mixing
    • If in a fermenter: recirculate if possible, or gently rock the fermenter several times
    • If in a keg: roll the keg or use the CO2 to create movement in the beer
    • Ensure thorough mixing for consistent results

Pro Tips

  • Start with less than you think you need – you can always add more
  • For best results, add during cold crash when beer is at its coldest
  • Great in combination with traditional dry hopping
  • Perfect for adjusting aroma just before packaging
  • Can be used to rescue a beer that needs more hop aroma
