Kalsec Craft Brew Solutions Advanced Hop Extracts
Advanced Hop Extracts by Kalsec Brewing Solutions are post fermentation additives derived from hops. Each 8 oz/250 gram bottle is designed to be used with… 50 to 75 barrels of beer.
Two varieties [Trop Hopical and Hopfenatic] seem to be focused on hop flavor and aroma, While one focuses on head retention [Head Master] and another focuses on adding bitterness [Bitter Blaster]. Since these are for post fermentation, they should allow you to correct and adjust beers on the fly.

Also, the response from the manufacturer states that the bottle will only be good for about 1 month after it is opened. I don’t imagine there are many, if any, homebrewers that make 50BBLS/months. It’d be awesome if they made a version of these products that are maybe more diluted and in smaller quantities for homebrewers to use.
I would expect it to be extremely difficult to use this on a homebrew scale. A 5-gallon batch would use something in the neighborhood of 1/2 to 3/4 of a gram, which is like 1/50th of an ounce. That will be extremely difficult to measure accurately for most people.
Looks like it will keep for a month after opening, so at this quantity I can only see this useful for a HB club or for Pro brewers. Still looks interesting to experiment with if there were smaller quantities available.
I’d love to see a more dilute version of this sold in small units for homebrew use. If it was less concentrated, so that a 5mL package (syringe? ketchup packet? sugar cube?) would be useful in 5 gallons or something, and could be had for a few bucks a dose, I could see checking it out.
I bought a bottle, and I’m going to try to dilute the oils in vodka, put into a syringe, and try to seal them in nitrogen flushed vacuum bags. We’ll see how it works out!
