Abstrax BrewGas Series Pineapple Express Terpene Extract
Pineapple Express from the BrewGas Series represents a new frontier in beverage flavoring, allowing producers to impart the authentic, skunky, and tropical aroma of cannabis without any legal or compliance concerns. Through advanced 3D metabolite mapping, Abstrax has identified the specific sulfuric and terpene compounds—such as beta-Myrcene and alpha-Pinene—that give Pineapple Express its signature "gassy" pineapple and light spice character. This water-based emulsion is designed specifically for the brewing industry; it is fully flowable, does not stick to stainless steel tanks, and disperses instantly into cold liquids. Unlike dry-hopping with cannabis-related botanicals, BrewGas eliminates yield loss, prevents "hop creep," and ensures total batch-to-batch consistency. It is the ultimate "x-factor" for modern brewers, providing a punchy, "hit-you-in-the-face" dankness that perfectly complements fruit-forward hops while remaining completely legal worldwide and TTB-approved.
Key Benefits
- Authentic "Dank" Aroma: Provides the true skunky, gassy profile of cannabis that hops alone cannot fully replicate.
- 100% Water Soluble: Disperses instantly in beer, cider, or spirits without oil separation or haze.
- Zero Yield Loss: A concentrated liquid format that does not absorb product like vegetal dry-hops.
- Fully Compliant: Contains 0.0% THC and CBD; legal worldwide and TTB-approved (FIDS available).
- No Hop Creep: Free from enzymes and fermentable sugars, keeping final gravity stable.
- Process Efficiency: Eliminates the need for long contact times, recirculation, or biomass disposal.
Applications
- Brewing: The premier choice for "4/20" themed releases, Hazy IPAs, and West Coast Pilsners. Add at the latest stage possible (brite tank) to maximize aroma.
- Winemaking/Cider: Use to create experimental, cannabis-inspired tropical ciders. Its clarity makes it ideal for transparent beverages.
- Distilling: Perfect for flavoring botanical gins or specialty spirits where a resinous, tropical "weed" aroma is desired without adding cloudiness.
- Non-Alcoholic: Ideal for hop-waters, seltzers, and NA beers. 100% utilization ensures a consistent, punchy flavor in alcohol-free bases.
