Mosaic Cryo
cryo · USA
Concentrated lupulin powder form of Mosaic. Delivers the same complex tropical, blueberry, and earthy character as whole-cone Mosaic pellets but with roughly double the alpha acid and oil content. Ideal for whirlpool and dry-hop additions where maximum aroma impact with minimal vegetal matter is the goal. Quantities should be approximately halved relative to standard Mosaic pellets.

About
A cryogenically-processed lupulin concentrate of Mosaic, separating the resin and oil from the leafy bract. It carries the same complex tropical, blueberry and earthy Mosaic character but at roughly double the alpha and oil, with far less vegetal matter, so it gives intense aroma with less hop creep and trub loss. Dose at roughly half the rate of standard Mosaic pellets.
