Cryo Hop® Hop Pellets
Higher AA and nearly twice the resin content of traditional T-90 hop pellets
Increase yield by reducing vegetal matter in your brewhouse and fermenter
Cryo Hops® provide brewers with the ability to get gigantic hop character while reducing astringent and unpleasant vegetal flavors. With a substantially higher oil and resin content, LupuLN2 powder offers up all the flavor and aroma of a heavily hopped beer, but with a significanly reduced grassy character. Additionally, the lower dosage rate of the concentrated powder reduces the volume of trub and therefore, kettle loss. Using Cryo Hops® you will net more beer that is clearer!
Typical usage of Cryo Hops® would be roughly 50% of pellets. LupuLN2 powder can be used in any application where traditional hop products are utilized, including: Bittering, Kettle, Whirlpool and even direct to the fermentor. It is suggested that you use Cryo Hops® as late additions, in the whirlpool or dry hop, as the volatile aromatic compounds will be driven off if added early in the boil.
Cryo Hops® are an innovative hop product that is made by separating the lupulin from the hop flower using cryogenic processing. The result is a product with twice the potency of T90 pellets, with reduced astringency and vegetative material.
Note: These hops come pelletized. The powder is compressed into pellet form to make handling easier.

Chinook hops are a very distinctive dual-purpose hop used in Ales for both bittering and flavor/aroma. Chinook hops are commonly used in West Coast style IPAs. Distinct, medium intensity spice and pine characteristics with subtle notes of grapefruit. Some consider the bittering quality of this hop to be a bit rough because it has a lingering quality. On the other hand, some brewers can't get enough! The flavor/aroma is spicy and unique, with a huge following of loyal fans.

Moutere™ will dominate your beer with intense tropical, fruity notes and powerful grapefruit and passionfruit character. This southern hemisphere hop from New Zealand is high in alpha acids with a generous oil content. Its lower cohumulone provides a soft well-structured but solid bitterness. Moutere™ is a triploid variety bred from Southern Cross and an unspecified New Zealand male.
An excellent bittering hop due to its high alpha and low cohumulone, but you'll find it hard to resist using Moutere™ as an aroma addition thanks to its pungent tropical aromatics and high oil content. An excellent choice for big IPAs and Hazys, but its tropical character also makes it perfect for mixed-culture fermentations, wheat beers, and fruited hoppy styles.
Flavors and aromas include tropical fruit, grapefruit, and passionfruit, with hints of spry hay, earthy baking spice, and resinous pine.

Alpha Acids: 15.0 – 18.0%

Another hit from the Southern Hemisphere! Rakau™ is a dream dual purpose hop, with plenty of alpha acids for bittering and an explosion of tropical fruit character as a late addition. The soft bitterness makes it ideal for beers where you're looking for a lot of hoppy character but without the bitter bite that comes with some highly hopped brews. With a high oil content, partcfularly myrcene, you'll find notes of passionfruit, peach, apricot, plum, mango, pear, and other stone fruit. Use throughout the boil, whirlpool, and dry hop for Pale Ales, IPAs, hoppy lagers, or even Belgian ales and American wheat beers.

German Huell Melon or Hüll Melon, is a relatively new hop varietal developed by the Hop Research Institute in Hüll. This hop has very distinct flavors of honeydew melon and strawberry.

Hüll Melon has quickly become one of Germany's most popular hops and is rapidly taking over noble-hop acreage. Due to it's unique flavor profile, feel free to toss this into whatever you see fit.

Whole cone hops are often preferred for dry hopping as they maintain contact while floating in the beer and are easier to remove
Adding whole cone hops directly to the mash tun is a great way to add flavor and help clarify wort
Citra® is currently one of the most sought-after hops among craft and home brewers for their intense citrus aroma and flavor. Grapefruit and lime aromas along with gooseberry, passion fruit, and lychee notes. Currently one of the top choices for late hop additions or dry hopping when you want to make that ultimate hop bomb IPA or Pale Ale. Citra® also has a fairly high alpha acid content making it a good choice for bittering IPAs, Pales, and American Ales. Supply has been limited in the industry but MoreBeer! loved this hop from day one and bought a lot of it years ago on contract.
Whole cone hops are typically the preferred format for dry hopping as they maintain contact with the beer by floating, they are easier to remove than pellets and they add a unique character to the beer. Adding whole cone hops directly to the mash tun is also a great way to add some extra hop flavor and to clarify your wort as it filters through the flowers.
