Citra CRYO Hops – 25g
Premium American lupulin-enriched hop pellets delivering intense citrus and tropical fruit aromatics for modern hop-forward beers.
Citra CRYO Hops are produced using advanced cryogenic hop processing to separate and concentrate the lupulin-rich fraction of the hop cone. This results in elevated hop oil and alpha acid concentrations with significantly less vegetal material than conventional T90 hop pellets.
Renowned for their distinctive grapefruit, lime, passionfruit and tropical fruit characteristics, Citra CRYO Hops are particularly suited to New England IPAs, Hazy IPAs, American IPAs and Pale Ales. An excellent choice for brewers seeking expressive hop flavour and aroma.

Brewing Recommendations
Citra CRYO Hops are particularly effective in whirlpool and dry hop additions, where their elevated hop oil concentration delivers intense citrus and tropical fruit aromatics with reduced vegetal material.
When substituting conventional T90 hop pellets, start with approximately 40–50% of the original hop weight for aroma-focused additions. Adjust according to your recipe and desired flavour intensity.
For complex hop profiles, Citra CRYO pairs exceptionally well with Mosaic, Simcoe, Galaxy, Amarillo and other expressive hop varieties.
Brewer's Tip: For a juicy Hazy IPA or NEIPA, combine Citra CRYO with Mosaic and Galaxy in whirlpool and dry hop additions to develop layered citrus, passionfruit and tropical fruit aromatics.
Storage Recommendations
Store hops sealed and refrigerated, or frozen for longer-term storage, to preserve hop oils and minimise oxidation.
