Flavorah Concentrates for Beer and Homebrew

Flavorah concentrates give homebrewers a precise, easy way to add natural-tasting fruit, spice, and specialty flavors to any beer style. Because Flavorah is approximately 2x more potent than standard extracts, you get clean, authentic flavor at very low dosing without affecting head retention, carbonation, or mouthfeel.

Recommended Usage Rates

• Standard dosing: 0.05-0.3% per batch (typical 0.15%)
• For a 5-gallon batch, this translates to roughly 1-6 mL total
• Lighter styles (wheat, pilsner): start at 0.05-0.1%
• Bolder styles (stout, porter, IPA): go up to 0.2-0.3%

Technique

Always add Flavorah concentrates post-fermentation, ideally during secondary or at kegging. This preserves the volatile flavor compounds that would be driven off during active fermentation. Stir gently and allow 24-48 hours for full integration before carbonating. Concentrates and extracts are compatible, though emulsions may cause slight cloudiness in very pale beers.

Recipe Ideas

• Raspberry wheat ale: add Flavorah Red Raspberry at 0.1% during secondary for a bright fruit finish
• Vanilla porter: add Flavorah Vanilla Custard at 0.15% at kegging for a smooth, dessert-forward character
• Citrus IPA: add Flavorah Blood Orange at 0.1% post-fermentation to complement hop citrus notes
• Spiced winter warmer: blend Flavorah Cinnamon and Flavorah Clove at 0.05% each for a holiday spice accent

Flavorah concentrates are safe for fermentation contact and will not inhibit yeast activity when added at recommended rates.
