Cryo Simcoe pellets 2024, 5 kg

American high-alpha hop, a classic among the modern hop strains. All-round hop with intense fruityness and hints of pine.

Cryo Hops® is a concentrated form of hops developed by Yakima Chief Hops, where much of the plant parts have been removed but oils and other flavors have been retained. Cryo Hops® can be used just like regular T90 pellets but are best suited for whirlpool or dry hopping. Compared to regular hop pellets, only 50% as much Cryo Hops® is needed to achieve the same taste results.

Commonly used in modern ales and lagers where fruityness is desired in the hop character.

Simcoe was launched in the year 2000 by Yakima Chief Ranchers but was almost abandoned in 2007 when the interest for citrus hops was in decline. It has since then regained much of it's popularity and today it is used by many American craft brewers.
