Description
Cryo Mosaic Hops (Cryo Hops®)
Cryo Mosaic Hops are made using the proprietary YCH cryogenic process, which separates the lupulin glands from the hop flower at extremely low temperatures. The result is a concentrated pellet with roughly double the alpha acid and oil content of standard Mosaic T-90 pellets, with significantly less vegetative material. This means more hop flavour and aroma with less grassy, astringent character – especially useful in heavily hopped styles where reducing trub is important.
Cryo Mosaic delivers an amplified version of the classic Mosaic profile: bold tropical fruit, berry, and stone fruit character with herbal and earthy undertones. Use at a rate of roughly half the weight you would use for standard Mosaic pellets.
