Background
For more than 30 years, Kalsec® has been providing the brewing industry with
advanced hop extracts for bitterness addition, light stability, foam enhancement
and improved economics. Our HopRival® natural hop extracts deliver flavor and
aroma that rival traditional hopping.
Now, Kalsec® introduces Craft Brew Solutions,™ a line of hop extracts developed
specifically to enhance the craft brewing process. These products provide a consistent
foundation of hop characteristics while presenting other unique features, including a
variety of distinct flavors and aromas.

Benefits
• Easy to use – These liquid extracts are easy to add to the whirlpool or post-fermentation.
• Economical – Kalsec® Craft Brew Solutions™ are competitively priced, particularly when compared to the result obtained
using hop pellets or traditional spices.
• Flexible – Intended to supplement traditional hopping, these ingredients give you freedom to adjust beer characteristics
to your preference by adding more or less until you achieve your desired profile. This creates endless new product
opportunities and the ability to quickly adapt to the dynamic changes in consumer tastes.
• Less Waste – Without the typical green matter in hop pellets or spices, significant improvement in wort and beer loss is
achieved. For example, 8 percent beer loss is typical for dry hopped beers, which is avoided using Trop Hopical.®
