Crosby Hops™ Columbus CGX® Pellets 2025
Description
We're proud to have partnered with Crosby Hops and Loughran Brewers Select to bring world class hops to homebrewers in the UK.
These hops are used by the likes of Verdant, Deya, Sierra Nevada and Russian River breweries.
They are aren't available anywhere else in the UK in homebrew quantities.
Available in CGX™ Cryogenic Lupulin Pellets with twice the potency of T-90 pellets.
With roughly half of the hop cone removed, some of the natural hop cone character is lost, however a concentration of hop oils results allowing more intense flavour expression and increased beer yields.
We recommend replacing between 25-50% of the T90s in a dry hop with half the weight of CGX pellets.
Available in 25g and 50g packs - we recommend using all the CGX pellets in a short amount of time (ideally in 1 beer). Due to their high content of oils and volatiles they will lose freshness and potency quickly when not packaged cold and in a nitrogen atmosphere.

Columbus is a powerful hop variety valued for its intense bitterness and unmistakably bold aroma. Columbus leans earthy and spicy with pronounced woody resinous notes and a subtle citrus edge, making it an excellent foundation for Pale Ales, IPAs and DIPAs, and other hop-driven styles. High alpha acid content gives Columbus versatility across bittering and dry hopping, delivering structure, depth, and impact in a broad range of beers. Together with Tomahawk® and Zeus, Columbus belongs to the esteemed super high alpha trio CTZ. Along with Cascade and Centennial, it’s also part of the famous Three Cs.
