A More Precise Way to Build Citrus Character

While many hop varieties can produce grapefruit-like notes, the exact expression can vary depending on crop, lot and process.

PRYSMA® Grapefruit takes a different approach:

• Built on a 100% hop-derived platform
• Enhanced with natural grapefruit flavour
• Fully dispersed for fast, stable flavour delivery

This allows brewers to achieve:

• Greater flavour precision
• Improved batch-to-batch consistency
• Stronger, more defined citrus character

Rather than relying solely on hop selection and extraction, PRYSMA® provides a reliable and repeatable way to deliver grapefruit flavour, while still integrating seamlessly into the beer as a hop-derived product.

Why This Matters

• Removes variability from hop-derived citrus character
• Enhances intensity without increasing hop load
• Maintains a clean, natural ingredient profile
• Allows fine-tuning of flavour late in the process

The result is a citrus-forward beer with clarity, balance and consistency, without the inefficiencies of heavy pellet use.

What is PRYSMA®?

PRYSMA® is a flowable liquid hop flavour platform developed by BarthHaas®, built on a 100% hop-derived emulsification system.

This patented technology allows hop oils to:

• Fully disperse in beer
• Remain stable in suspension
• Deliver immediate and long-lasting flavour

Unlike conventional liquid hop products, PRYSMA® contains:

• No synthetic carriers
• No added solvents
• No non-hop-derived emulsifiers

This enables brewers to work with a product that remains entirely rooted in traditional hop ingredients while delivering modern performance.

Why Use PRYSMA®?

PRYSMA® has been developed to address the limitations of both pellets and traditional hop extracts.

Efficiency & Yield

• 20g PRYSMA® ≈ 100g pellets
• Reduced beer loss from hop absorption
• Full utilisation of hop oils

Performance

• Instant dispersion — no pre-mixing required
• Stable flavour and aroma over time
• No risk of hop creep

Control

• Precise, repeatable dosing
• Consistent results batch to batch
• Ability to fine-tune flavour late in the process

Because PRYSMA® keeps hop oils fully dispersed, flavour is delivered faster and more efficiently, with long-lasting stability in the finished beer.

PRYSMA® vs Traditional Hopping

Pellet hops remain the backbone of brewing, but they naturally introduce:

• Vegetal matter
• Absorption losses
• Variability in oil extraction

PRYSMA® offers a complementary approach:

• Significantly reduced material usage
• Cleaner flavour expression
• Improved process efficiency

Many brewers choose to use PRYSMA® alongside pellets to balance intensity and complexity.

PRYSMA® and Modern Liquid Hops

BarthHaas® has been at the forefront of liquid hop innovation, with products designed for different applications.

• SPECTRUM – a liquid hop pellet format designed to replicate dry hopping
• PRYSMA® – a fully emulsified flavour platform for maximum dispersion and flexibility

PRYSMA® is particularly effective when:

• Fast flavour impact is required
• Late-stage adjustments are needed
• Process efficiency and consistency are priorities

How to Use PRYSMA® (20g Pouch)

PRYSMA® is designed for flavour and aroma additions, not bittering.

Whirlpool / Late Kettle

• Add directly to the whirlpool
• Use 1 x 20g pouch to replace ~100g pellets

Dry Hop Replacement

• Add to fermenter or conditioning vessel
• Ensure good mixing

👉 1 pouch provides a direct, efficient replacement for a typical dry hop charge

Advanced Applications

PRYSMA® can also be used:

• During fermentation
• In conditioning
• Post-fermentation or post-filtration

This allows brewers to adjust and refine hop character later in the process, offering a level of control not possible with traditional hopping methods.

What to Expect in Your Beer

• Clean, saturated hop flavour
• Reduced harshness and vegetal character
• Improved yield and reduced losses
• Consistent, repeatable results

PRYSMA® delivers the full impact of Citra® with less waste and greater control.
