Fresh Hops Frozen In Time

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.

Contracting

CGX NUVO is available for contracts in addition to immediate spot purchasing. This inventory will be stored at 0°F until you're ready to use.
