In my brewing life I use that and Cryo hops.  Both were good and made the NEPIA pop.

Use at 50%?

At east 50% if I remember right.

It's a big range. 50-70% I think. It is about 2x the price so 50% would be great

I found it to be a little less effective than cryo.  I don't use either at 50%.  That's based on IBU which makes no difference for late additions, which is where you use them. I just dry hopped a beer with 2 oz. CryoPop, 2 oz. Cryo Citra, and 1 oz. Cascade T90.

so you use it at similar rates (by weight) as "regular" pellet hops?

Yep. For instance, I just dry hopped a DIPA with 2 oz. Cryopop original, 2 oz cryo Citra, and 1 oz T90 Cascade. Sometimes cryo can be too "clean", so I add some T90 or American nobles to boost the cryo.

Yeah they really don’t deliver twice the punch on the cold side. You’re best off treating them 1:1 and enjoying the slight boost they give.

hmmm - I feel like this is deja vu for me.  maybe had the same convo about cryo.

Yeah they are pretty much the same product from a different distributor. Same as Crosby CGX
