The 30 most common questions from clients and search engines.
What does Xinjiang Shenchi Fuxing Hop Investment Co., Ltd. do?
We specialise in organic hop cultivation, processing, R&D and sales — supplying low-temperature fresh-lock hop cone bricks, hop pellets, dried whole cones, fresh hop products, sample testing, and contract farming partnerships.
Where is Shenchi Fuxing located?
No. 2890 Toutunhe Road, Economic & Technological Development Zone, Urumqi, Xinjiang.
What is low-temperature fresh-lock hop?
Low-temperature fresh-lock hop is processed, packaged, stored, and delivered under low temperature, minimising the impact of heat and oxidation on hop aroma, bitterness, and freshness.
Who is the fresh-lock hop cone brick for?
Large breweries, craft breweries, beer R&D teams, and raw-material traders — for specialty beers, flavour upgrades, and sample testing.
How is fresh-lock hop different from hop pellets?
Pellets suit regular production and stable procurement; fresh-lock cones emphasise original fresh-cone aroma, green freshness, and differentiated flavour expression.
Do you offer organic hops?
Yes — our business focuses on organic hop cultivation, processing, and supply; batch-level details can be confirmed during procurement.
Do you support sample testing?
Yes. Use the inquiry form to share company, contact, target product, expected volume, end use, and delivery region.
What information should a brewery provide before procurement?
Beer style, expected volume, end use scenario, delivery region, timing requirements, COA need, and sample need.
What metrics are typically checked on hop COAs?
α-acid, β-acid, total oil, aroma profile, moisture, foreign matter, appearance, batch number, harvest date, processing date, and cold-chain records.
How does α-acid affect beer?
α-acid is a key reference for beer bitterness potential — actual performance depends on beer style, process, and dosing.
What does β-acid do?
β-acid relates to bitterness layering after oxidation, and is a reference indicator for hop quality and storage condition.
Does fresh-lock require cold-chain?
Fresh-lock products usually need attention to storage and transport conditions; cold-chain plans follow the batch and delivery requirements.
Do you support small-batch supply for craft breweries?
Yes. Craft brewers can start with sample testing or small-batch specialty beer trials, then scale up.
Do you support long-term supply for large breweries?
Yes — partnerships can be built around annual demand, batch consistency, COA, delivery cycles, and contract farming.
What is a hop brick?
A hop brick is a hop form convenient for standardised storage, transport, and use — well-suited to stable delivery of fresh-lock cones.
How do dried whole cones differ from fresh cones?
Dried whole cones are convenient for storage and traditional use; fresh and fresh-lock products emphasise fresh aroma and freshness state.
Why does hop origin matter?
Sunshine, temperature swing, soil, irrigation, and harvest window all affect hop aroma, bitterness, and batch performance.
What characterises Xinjiang hops?
Xinjiang hop regions have the right sunshine, diurnal temperature swing, and agricultural base for hop cultivation and supply partnerships.
Do you offer contract farming?
Yes — contract farming or custom cultivation can be discussed around variety, annual volume, COA, batch plan, and delivery cycle.
How can I contact Shenchi Fuxing?
Contact Mr. Yin at 13999858881 or 13319818881, or use the website inquiry form.
Do you provide COA?
Testing and quality documents can be aligned with the actual batch and procurement need — final values follow the batch result.
Can fresh-lock replace pellets?
Not a simple replacement. It offers another hop form for beer R&D and flavour upgrades — usable alongside pellets based on process goals.
How should breweries evaluate fresh-lock cones?
Combine small samples, trial brews, sensory evaluation, COA data, and cost analysis.
Should hop procurement be based only on price?
No. Consider origin, freshness, COA, batch consistency, storage condition, delivery capability, and supplier responsiveness together.
Do you support hop traders and distributors?
Yes — distribution partnerships can cover pellets, dried whole cones, fresh products, and fresh-lock products.
