Created through our patented cryogenic separation process, Cryo Hops contain nearly twice as much oil as T-90 pellets, packing intense aroma and flavour into a traditional pellet form. Thanks to the removal of leaf matter, Cryo pellets contribute less trub, helping to reduce the effects of Hop Creep.
Advantages
Cryo Hops offer brewers roughly double the lupulin load of T-90 pellets. Beginning with freight costs, through cooler space and trub production, Cryo takes up less space. Use less product, get more punch.
Trials comparing the diastatic activity of different hop products confirm that most of the diastatic enzymes in hops are found in the bract. Using Cryo Hops pellets for dry hopping can help mitigate Hop Creep.
Using Cryo Hops in tandem with our other products, like T-90 pellets, CO₂ extract, or HyperBoost® can help amplify the specific attributes of hop flavor and aroma that you want in your finished product.
All Yakima Chief Hops pellets, including Cryo Hops, have been sealed in nitrogen-purged bags, and with proper storage, are guaranteed for no less than three years from their packaging date.
