Yakima Chief Hops has pioneered the use of cutting-edge hop lab analysis techniques to create Cryo Pop™ Original Blend – a hop blend with the power to add a true “pop” of aromas and flavors in beer.

They've combined their Cryo Hops® process with their hop compound analysis technology to create Cryo Pop™ Original Blend, formerly known as TRI 2304CR Blend. This is a Cryo Hops® pellet blend that is loaded with compounds that survive harsh brewing processes including heat, fermentation, and CO2 scrubbing. By maximizing concentrations of the most impactful and complimentary hop compounds, they offer an incredibly powerful hop pellet that creates a true ‘pop’ of aromas in finished beers.

Cryo Pop™ Aroma Profile

Due to the complexities of biotransformation, the expected aroma profile of Cryo Pop Original Blend will vary depending on where in the brewing process it is used, providing brewers with a diverse array of options.

• Active Fermentation - Peach, Pineapple, Strawberry, Guava, Mango, Orange
• Post Fermentation - Peach, Grapefruit, Mango, Pineapple, Pine, Sweetgrass

Cryo Pop™ Usage and Applications

• Kettle: Late additions only; early kettle additions should be avoided to prevent boiling out the intense aroma characteristics.
• Whirlpool: Whirlpool additions are an excellent way to increase aroma and reduce trub load from large, late additions
• Fermenter: Use in the fermenter is an excellent way to increase aroma while reducing trub loss. Cryo Pop pellets will settle out during normal conditioning and can be fined, filtered, or centrifuged as normal.
