Liquid hop flavour platform

PRYSMA®

A hop flavour platform with a 100 % hop-based carrier: stable, long-lasting flavour and aroma without notable bitterness. Variants PRYSMA® and PRYSMA® Botanicals.

PRYSMA®

A liquid hop flavour platform from BarthHaasX built on a unique 100 % hop-based carrier (emulsifier) that fully disperses hop oils in water and keeps them there. No synthetic carriers, no notable bitterness or resinous notes. It comes in two variants: PRYSMA® (purely hop-based, in individual varieties) and PRYSMA® Botanicals (a hop platform with additional natural aromas).

Use in: Whirlpool, fermentation, post-filtration

Key benefits

stable 100 % dispersion: fast flavour and aroma transfer that lasts in the beer
no synthetic carriers, solvents or emulsifiers other than hop-derived ones
dosing without pre-heating, including post-filtration to differentiate production streams
replaces part of the T90 hop pellets
packs of 1, 5 and 10 kg

Variant: PRYSMA® (purely hop-based)

How to use

PRYSMA® is dosed without pre-heating. Dose it directly into the whirlpool (or, if possible, into the beer stream while transferring to the wort cooler) for late-hop flavour without notable bitterness; into the fermenter for additional hop and other natural flavour without notable bitterness, resinous notes or any danger of hop creep; and after filtration to differentiate production streams.

Replacing T90 hop pellets

1 kg of PRYSMA® replaces 5–8 kg of T90 pellets in the whirlpool and during fermentation
1 kg of PRYSMA® replaces 10–15 kg of T90 pellets during cold conditioning
it is recommended to replace the pellets gradually, up to 75 % of the original pellet dose at most

Recommendation

After filtration, part of a single production stream (e.g. a lager) can be diverted and turned quickly into a different beer, such as a session IPA or a lager with a lime twist, using PRYSMA® and no non-hop emulsifiers. More details on dosing are in the manufacturer’s whitepaper.
