Simcoe CRYO Hop Pellets (USA) (1 oz)
Developed by Yakima Chief Hopunion, Cryo Hops represents the the most innovative technology in hop processing.

It is designed to provide intense hop flavor & aroma, enabling brewers to dose large quantities of hops without introducing astringent flavors or vegetative cone material. LupuLN2 offers twice the resin content of traditional whole-leaf & hop pellet products, and should be dosed at approximately half the amount by weight. Aroma: Passion fruit, pine, berry & earth. Alpha: 21-25%, Oil: 2.5-4.5%.
