WHAT IS CRYO FRESH™?
Combining the groundbreaking concept of Frozen Fresh Hops and the innovative technology of Cryo Hops®, we are pleased to introduce a new way to brew fresh hop beers with a convenient, easy-to-use, concentrated pelletized product. Cryo Fresh, an advancement of trial products YCH 301 and YCH 302, is derived from the concentrated lupulin of fresh whole-cone hops. This unique product captures the vibrant flavors and aromas of fresh hops, with a fraction of the footprint and the mess that comes with fresh whole cones. Cryo Fresh offers brewers the opportunity to replicate harvest-fresh aromatics year-round.

HOW TO BREW WITH CRYO FRESH™?
Cryo Fresh can be used at any stage, including the cold side, where traditional whole cone fresh hops are simply impractical. However, to maximize the fresh hop attributes, YCH suggests using Cryo Fresh in the active or post-fermentation dry hop.
KETTLE: Not recommended for kettle use.
Post-Boil/Whirlpool: Whirlpool additions are a good way to increase aroma and reduce trub load from large, late additions.
Fermentation: Using Cryo Fresh pellets in the fermenter is an excellent way to increase aroma while reducing trub loss. Cryo Fresh can be used at any stage including the cold side, where traditional whole cone hops are simply impractical.
Dry hopping: An excellent way to harness the massive aroma and flavor characteristics of Cryo Fresh while reducing trub loss. Active and post-fermentation are the best applications for maximizing fresh hop character.
