UPDATE THIS HOP BUY IS OFF Yes its with deep regrete that I have to tell one and all this hop buy is officially off. A number of things have happened in the last week that has left me in no doubt, that when I thought this forum could not stoop any lower, I find out that, yes, some brewers out...

DISTRIBUTION CENTRES Well, it seems craftbrewers want to be involved in the Hop Buy, BUT no-one out there wants to be involved with the distribution of the hops. So far all I have is one poor fellow in WA willing to help. This whole buy will rely on you the craftbrewer in each state helping...

Only their word, after I was asked to make sure what was said was correct to cut and paste "[31/12/2009 11:56:22 AM] Carol Wang: New sample SAAZ is pure/true SAAZ imported from Czech by Japanese techinician in China, but there is still difference between SAAZ which are planting different...

I shouldn't have to do this mind you, as its going outside the scope of the buy BUY There is a big difference between Craftbrewers and Homebrewers. Homebrewers - people who brew at home. Be it Kit and Kilo, in a bath tub, out in the open. They basically brew at home and dont care that much...

ASKING FOR PEOPLE TO HELP For this to work I have gone back to my tried and true system I have used over the years, that is a Distribution Centre. The principle is simple. In major centres some-one acts as distributor. They get mailed their states bulk order, and allow people to come round to...

UPDATES To restate THERE IS NO LIST. None will ever a list be published, or made available. The buy is TOTALLY PRIVATE in regards to this forum. This has come about due to a heap of problems with going public with a list. As such I have taken tighter controls on this buy to ensure mistakes...

UPDATES this is to start the Great Chinese Hop buy 2009/2010 second round. The Terms and Conditions are pretty clear. While the previous Chinese Hop Buy was successful, it can only be used as a guide. A number of changes, both off shore and with-in Australia means in a lot of ways, this is a...

First step Shortly I will be asking for people in major cities to stand up as Distribution centres. The role is simple. You will receive a bulk order for your state. The majority of the order should be able to be picked up at your place, with a few having to be mailed out. Those I suggest you...

THE GREAT HOP BUY 2009 Misc Hopefully all will go well, BUT equally we may have the odd hickup. Either way I will be upfront with what goes on. People are already helping, and I may call on you to help out in the future. If you can please help when asked. As any helper is doing this for the...

THE GREAT CHINESE HOP BUY 2009 Costing This exercise was never meant to make money. So the costings given are as close to cost as possible. While I have made every effort to find every cost, no doubt unexpected costs may come up. Because of this I have been conservative with the costing...

THE GREAT CHINESE HOP BUY 2009 ORDERING Preamble - I will keep as much information as a person can open and available. Everyone deserves to be kept as fully informed as possible. That said, I may with-hold minor information if third parties try to stop this deal. Equally I may also with-hold...

THE GREAT CHINESE HOP BUY 2009 HOPS THAT ARE AVAILABLE The hop Company provides a good range of hop products including oils. However we are restricting this order to T90 hop pellets. T90 hops pellets are the common pellets we buy as brewers. They are simply cut up and pressurised into...

This is the new thread for the buying of Chinese Hops that will start in January. It has been started to avoid clutter and solely concentrate on the ordering, and informing of the Craftbrewer in buying these hops. AS SUCH, I HAVE ASKED THE MODERATORS TO DELETE POSTS THAT DONT DIRRECTLY ADDRESS...

OH mate, they can and DO GROW HOPS. If you listen to my radio show http://radio.craftbrewer.org/shows/November1-09.mp3 , there is an actually story from India by the BBC about how much they grow. They get away with it by growing it at very high allitudes, thus they mimic the daylengths in...

Ummm guys While I am organising the Great Chinese Bulk BUy 2009 Second Chance (look in Bulk Buy Section, you may have to subscribe to the forum), I hate to tell you India already grows quite a bit of hops. Yes I am on the ball and they grow a significant amount of hops. With my contacts we can...

My take in general from the beers I have made, and all the feedback is generally 1. hops are more powdery than what you normally expect. They crush them finner (their aim is to release the flavours and aroma quicker) 2. Flavours and aroma are definitely there, BUT more subdued. This may be due...

I will let this go, BUT for a comment. The anology that Darren uses is an excellent one. As a moderator, if you exercise a judgement that a post somehow borders on illegal activity, then you should be consistant accross the board on the principles you apply it. You can not show favour. In the...
