Yakima Chief have use cutting-edge hop analysis techniques to create a supercharged pellet blend which delivers massive tropical, stone fruit and citrus aromas into your finished beers and be used as for 100% of the hop bill as an all-in-one solution for brewers.

This is the ideal solution for any new brewers looking to create a juicy and complex Single Hop beer or for advanced brewers who are looking to utilise the biotransformation properties of yeast to create beers with juicy peach, pineapple, grapefruit and daiquiri-like aromas.

Yakima Chief have use cutting-edge hop analysis techniques to create a supercharged pellet blend which delivers massive tropical, stone fruit and citrus aromas into your finished beers and be used as for 100% of the hop bill as an all-in-one solution for brewers.

YCH's R&D facility houses one of the only labs in the word with the capability to analyse previously undetectable aromatic compounds, allowing beer-soluble hop compounds which survive the harsh brewing process to be explored.

The data gathered from this analysis is used to carefully select hop varieties that are loaded with these compounds. YCH has then engineered a product Cryo Hops production process to engineer a supercharged pellet blend that produces beers with juicy peach, pineapple, grapefruit and daiquiri-like aromas.

Single Hop Beers.

Cryo Pop pellets have been engineered with specific component ratios in mind. Hence they can be used for 100% of the hop bill as an all-in-one solution for brewers. Cryo Pop provides such a powerful and dynamic aroma and flavour profile that they can create a robust "single hop" beer with the use of one hop blend.

Blend Amplifier.

Cryo Pop pellets can be used to amplify the character of other existing hop combinations. When used as a 20-40% portion of a hop bill, Cryo Pop pellets will elevate levels of geraniol, linalool, esters, and polyfunctional thiols, enhancing and elevating the characteristics of other hop varieties.

Biotransformation.

Recent research suggests that high levels of monoterpene alcohols and polyfunctional thiols in a wort stream can create the conditions necessary for the yeast metabolism of hop-derived compounds, otherwise known as “biotransformation.” Cryo Pop pellets are a perfect choice for loading whirlpool and active fermentation dry hop additions with these components, thus creating a dynamic environment for yeast and hops to provide maximum aroma expression

Combine Cryo Pop pellets with yeast varieties which are known to undergo biotransformation such as LalBrew - Premium New England Yeast or LalBrew - Verdant IPA - Ale Yeast
