HOW TO BREW WITH CRYO HOPS®?

It is recommended to adapt any recipe by substituting 40g of Cryo Hops pellets, 25g of T-90 pellets or 15g of American Noble Hops pellets for every 100g of T-90 used. For new recipes, we recommend starting with an estimated dosing rate of Cryo Hops pellets at 40-50% of T-90 hop pellets by weight. Cryo Hops can be utilized anywhere. Whole leaf hops and hop pellets are traditionally applied.
Kettle: Late additions only; early ones should be avoided to prevent boiling out the intense aroma characteristics.
Post-Boil/Whirlpool: Whirlpool additions are an excellent way to increase aroma and reduce trub load from large, late additions..
Fermentation: Using Cryo Hops® pellets in the fermenter is an excellent way to increase aroma while reducing trub loss.
Dry hopping: An excellent way to harness the massive aroma and flavour characteristics of Cryo Hops while reducing trub loss. Cryo Hops will settle out during normal conditioning and can be fined, filtered, or centrifuged as normal.
