    2018 Hop Plantations

    We have a dog that ate an entire bush of carolina reapers, but has a sniff of hops and runs with her tail between her legs. Have you seen how your dog reacts to pellets if you just hold out the bag or have them in your hand?

    Hops left out

    True, but it's not the AA% I'm worried about. Vacuum sealed prior to being opened on sunday. Then left partially rolled up in a bag on a table in the garage.

    Hops left out

    Brewed a 45L smash with Columbus on Sunday. 300g in kettle with another 200g left for dry hop. Had to rush off to work and bloody left the dry hops open in thei bag on the bench. It is now Wednesday. Question, will these still make good for dry hop? Many thanks.
