Description
Talus Cryo Hops 25g
The name Cryo Hops® comes from the Greek word “kryos”, meaning frost. It is a cryogenic hop processing technology 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 pelleting.
Cryo Hops pellets are the concentrated lupulin of the hop, containing resins and aromatic oils. They give intense hop flavour and aroma, so you can dose large amounts of alpha acids and oils without astringent flavours or vegetative material. Cryo Hops can be used anywhere regular pellets are used, but are especially well suited to the whirlpool/hop stand and dry hopping.

How to use Cryo Hops
As a starting point when creating or adjusting a recipe, use 50% of the weight of regular pellets. Cryo Hops are especially suited to hop-driven beers such as IPA and NEIPA, and work best late in the boil and for dry hopping. BarthHaas notes that the roughly 1:1 ratio of alpha to beta acids also gives usable bitterness if Talus is added earlier in the boil.
