Description
Mosaic Cryo Hops 25 g – concentrated lupulin for intense aroma
Mosaic Cryo Hops is concentrated lupulin from Mosaic hops, with 22.5% alpha acids in this lot. It is designed to give intense hop flavour and aroma with minimal vegetal flavour from the plant material. The aroma profile is citrus, stone fruit, tropical fruit and berries.
What are Cryo Hops?
The name comes from the Greek word "kryos", meaning frost. Cryo Hops® is a cryogenic hop processing technology from Yakima Chief Hops that separates whole hop cones into two components: concentrated lupulin and bract. Each component is preserved at low temperatures in a nitrogen-rich environment throughout the process, from separation to pelletising.
Cryo Hops pellets are the concentrated lupulin of the hop, containing the resins and aromatic oils. They are designed to deliver intense hop flavour and aroma, allowing brewers to dose large amounts of alpha acids and oils efficiently without astringent flavours or vegetal material. Cryo Hops can be used anywhere traditional hops are used, but are best suited to the whirlpool, hop stand and dry hopping.
