On Sept 25th, 2009, townsville instigated a bulk buy of hops from China in this thread. At the time of writing, the bulk buy has been completed and distributed. One beer has already been brewed!
Bulk buys take a lot of effort. They originate from someone, usually with too much enthusiasm for their own good, making a proposition. Other brewers back the proposition with cash, labour and/or goodwill. The majority of the time, these bulk buys serve the homebrewer very well. Occassionally they don't. Anyone remember the Blichamn Beer Gun?
The idea of this thread is for brewers to hand on their results to us other brewers. I did not buy any of these hops as my supply is already adequate. Your feedback here will be very much appreciated by me and many others for any future bulk buys of these hops.The results of this poll will encourage a repeat if it is justified (with even more participants) and save everyone, particularly the instigator/helpers a heap of time and trouble if not.
The only other thing I would ask is that, if you vote in the poll, you acknowledge your vote in this thread with a post that preferably states some reason/s for your vote/s. This gives validity to your answer/s. It should also make it a very quiet thread so make sure you, "Track this topic," under "Options," above and pass on the link when appropriate.
Cheers,
Pat
Details of the Bulk Buy
I will ask a moderator to fill these details in as soon as possible.
