Customized Hop Blends
When appropriate, Kalsec® undertakes collaborative projects to develop customer-driven tailored blends that can include hop oils, natural flavors and hop bitterness. Many times these products are a Complete Post-Fermentation® (CPF®) solution, providing a desired balance that can include hop bitterness (sometimes light-stable), hop aroma and flavor, natural flavors, and a hop-derived foam retention product for a specific application. These are often proprietary blends that are highly customized products.
