Cryo Pop Blend Hops:

The Cryo Pop Blend hops are an innovative product from Yakima Chief Hops. Their R&D center houses one of the only laboratories in the world capable of analyzing aromatic components that were previously undetectable.

This technology allows for the identification of aromatic markers that are most likely to be found in the finished beers.

The Cryo Pop Blend is a mix of different Cryo hops naturally loaded with these beer-soluble compounds that survive the difficult brewing processes, including heat, fermentation, and CO2 evaporation during the "tumultuous" phase, all while maximizing the expression of fruity aromas.

This will bring a tropical aromatic explosion while allowing for the use of less hops in cold, thus limiting the risks of oxidation.

By maximizing the concentrations of the most impactful and complementary hop compounds, Yakima Chief Hops offers us a unique and incredibly powerful hop that creates a real 'POP' of aromas in the beer. It delivers massive aromas of pineapple, peach, and citrus.

The Cryo Pop Blend will express its full potential at the end of the boil, Whirlpool, and Dry Hop in primary fermentation. It is also a little bomb for biotransformation.

Bonus: The 3 Possible Usage Scenarios of Cryo Pop Blend

1/ Single Hop:

The Cryo Pop® pellets are designed with specific component ratios, so they can be used as a single hop. This constitutes an all-in-one solution when you are looking for juicy aromas of peach, pineapple, grapefruit, and daiquiri.

Suggestion: Replace the London III yeast with Mango Madness or Saturated from WHC ;).

2/ Flavor Amplifier:

Cryo Pop Blend can be used to amplify the aromatic character of a hop combination like Citra and Simcoe for example. Dosed at 20 to 40% in the total hop addition of a recipe, Cryo Pop increases the levels of geraniol, linalool, esters, and polyfunctional thiols, enhancing and elevating the characteristics of other hop varieties.

3/ Biotransformation Optimization:

Recent research suggests that high levels of monoterpenic alcohols and polyfunctional thiols in the wort can create the necessary conditions for biotransformation. Cryo Pop Blend is a perfect choice for loading the beer with these components (especially in Whirlpool and Dry Hop in primary fermentation). They thus create a dynamic environment for yeast and hops to achieve maximum aroma expression.

Don't waste time, brew with Cryo Pop Blend!
