Fresh Hops Frozen In Time
Picked at peak ripeness from our fifth-generation farm in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, CGX NUVO™ is a flowable, high-density lupulin powder made from estate grown fresh hops using Crosby’s patented cryogenic technology. This innovative process locks in the full spectrum of intense lupulin flavors and aromas, delivering a concentrated, easy-to-use format for brewers who want fresh hop character without the constraints of harvest season.
Inspired by olio nuovo—the first and freshest olive oil of the season—CGX NUVO captures the raw, most expressive hop oils from each crop year. The result is peak harvest intensity, available year-round. Whether you're optimizing brewhouse efficiency or pushing the boundaries of hop-forward flavor, CGX NUVO brings unmatched potency, purity, and performance to every brew.
Why Choose CGX NUVO?
FLEXIBILITY
Our patented cryogenic process involves flash-freezing fresh 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, any time of year.
IMPACT
By preserving 100% of the essential oils, CGX NUVO provides up to 3x the lupulin concentration than whole leaf fresh hops alone. Expect bold, bright, and complex flavor and aroma profiles that will change your opinion of what a harvest fresh beer can be.
ACCESS
Reduced freight by minimizing plant matter expands access for fresh hop beer production coast to coast. Brewers can now brew harvest-fresh beer year-round.
Tips For Using CGX NUVO
Storage
To maintain optimal quality, store CGX NUVO between 0°F and 14°F for up to 1 year. If stored between 14°F and 35°F, use within 30 days for best results
Usage
CGX NUVO 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. This results in cleaner brewhouse performance with less vegetative matter and better yields.
Due to their enhanced potency, less is more when brewing with CGX NUVO. We suggest 1-2 lbs. of CGX NUVO per barrel, depending on style and target density.
For optimal aroma and flavor, add CGX NUVO late in the boil, during whirlpooling, or as dry hop additions.
