Created by Yakima Chief Hops (YCH) using a patented cryogenic processing technology, whole hop cones are frozen with liquid nitrogen to separate the intense lupulin glands from the vegetative bract. This results in a pellet that delivers double the aromatic oils and alpha acids of a standard T-90 Amarillo® pellet, allowing brewers to use roughly half the usual dosage while maximizing flavor yield and reducing beer loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHop Profile \u0026amp; Technical Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAroma Profile: An intense, sweet citrus showcase driven by high myrcene levels, explicitly giving off notes of orange, tangerine, grapefruit, melon, and apricot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha Acids: Highly concentrated at 13% to 24% (compared to 6–11% in standard Amarillo).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary Use: Primarily aroma, whirlpool, and dry-hopping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Advantages\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigher Yield: Removing the vegetative leaf matter means less liquid absorption (less trub), saving homebrewers and commercial breweries significant volume per batch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurbs Hop Creep: Because the majority of diastatic enzymes reside in the hop bract, using Cryo Hops dramatically reduces the risk of over-attenuation during dry-hopping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaner Flavor: Minimizes the astringent, grassy, or vegetal flavors that can occur when heavy amounts of traditional pellets are used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Usage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDosing Rate: Use 40% to 50% of the weight required for standard T-90 pellets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Ideal for late-boil additions (5 minutes or less), whirlpool hop stands, or active\/post-fermentation dry-hopping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyles: An excellent fit for American Pale Ales (APAs), Hazy or West Coast IPAs, Double IPAs, and Wheat Ales.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Because the lupulin glands are exposed, they degrade quicker when in contact with oxygen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways keep vacuum-sealed and frozen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you blending Amarillo® with other varieties?
