One of the latest
"Wonder Hops" Mosaic was formerly known as HBC 369 and is a cross breed
of Simcoe and Nugget. Mosaic is used mainly for aroma and flavor
additions as it produces a complex array of tropical fruit, floral, and
berry notes that are unique to this hop. Drinking a well done Mosaic
IPA (Check out our Juice Box Rye IPA) can be akin to drinking a glass of
juice.

Hopunion, Cryo Hops represents the most innovative technology in hop
processing. It uses a proprietary cryogenic separation process which preserves
all components of each hop fraction, producing two simultaneous co-products,
LupuLN2 and Debittered Leaf.
LupuLN2 is the concentrated lupulin
of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed
to provide intense hop flavor and aroma, enabling brewers to dose large
quantities of hops without introducing astringent flavors or vegetative
cone material. During early R&D trials, brewers specifically cited
‘juicy’ and ‘resinous’ characteristics. LupuLN2 offers twice the resin
content of traditional whole-leaf and hop pellet products, and should be
dosed at approximately half the amount by weight.
