Picked at their peak ripeness from our fifth-generation farm, CGX™ Fresh Hops are frozen in time using a patent-pending cryogenic process to lock in the intense lupulin flavors and aromas in an easy-to-use format. Freshness beyond 24 hours - expanding access while reducing costs.
Flexibility
Our patent-pending cryogenic process involves flash-freezing hops at harvest, preserving the delicate compounds that give aroma hops their unique character. This ensures that you receive hops that are as fresh as the moment they were picked.
Impact
By preserving the essential oils and resins, CGX Fresh Hops provide a more concentrated and vibrant flavor profile than whole leaf fresh hops alone. Expect bold, bright, and complex flavor and aroma profiles that will change your opinion of what a fresh hop beer can be.
Access
Reduced freight by minimizing plant matter expands access for fresh hop beer production coast to coast.
Storage
Keep CGX Fresh Hops stored at freezing temperatures until ready to use. This ensures that the hops maintain their peak freshness.
Usage
CGX Fresh Hops come in a powder-like consistency, similar to kinetic sand, with ideal density for ease of use at any point in the brewing process.
Due to their enhanced potency, you may need to adjust your typical fresh hop dosing. Here are recommended starting ratios.
For optimal aroma and flavor, add CGX Fresh Hops late in the boil, during whirlpooling, or as dry hop additions.
Innovation
Due to the shelf-life of CGX Fresh Hops, brewers can now experiment with multiple fresh hop varieties in the same beer.
All CGX™ Fresh Hops are Estate Grown at our fifth-generation farm in Woodburn, Oregon. Here’s some other helpful information:
