Cryo Hop Pellets

Do you make double IPA’s?  Cryo Hops are a new concentrated natural hop product that imparts twice the hop aroma of standard pellet hops for the same weight. This means Cryo is ideal for late hop additions to build up hop aroma and character in stronger IPA styles, as it reduces bulk vegetative material in the wort, allowing the brewer to use more natural hops to create full flavored IPA’s without losing a lot of wort to hop pellet absorption.

Cryo also tends to reduce the ‘grassy’ effect a large amount of normal strength hop pellets can have on a strong IPA when added late in the boil or at flameout. Cryo pellets have about twice the alpha acid of normal pellet hops, although they should not be used at the start of the boil, to prevent boiling away its unique concentrated aromatic properties.
