CITRA Cryo Hops 1 oz.

Cryo hops are a revolutionary hop product developed by Canadian company Yakima Chief, and distributed by partner company YCH Hops.

The production begins by cryogenic separation of what they have named “LupuLN2®”

and the remaining debittered leaf content

LupuLN2® is the concentration of resins and aromatic oils that make up the plants lupulin. This allows for heavy, late addition hopping to provide intense hop flavour and aroma, while avoiding astringency. Using Cryo Hops at about half the dosage, by weight, provides a more intense juicy and resinous character, than its whole hop counterpart.

APPLICATION AND USAGE
LupuLN2 may be used anywhere pellet hops can be used and are best used for late kettle and dry hop additions. As a starting point for recipe formulation or modification dose rate is estimated at 50% of pellets
by weight. It is best used in beers defined by their hop flavor and aroma with hop loads of at least 1 lb/bbl in late kettle or dry hop additions where a larger
yield increase will occur from substituting out pellets or whole leaf.

STORAGE
LupuLN2 should be stored near-freezing, preferably between 30°F and 41°F (-1°C and 5°C). For best results, LupuLN2 should be used within three (3) years of package date. Storage stability does vary per variety and can be negatively affected by exposure to oxygen, heat and/or light.
