Bulk Buy Hops (qld)

[Ross]

Ok guys/gals

I'm about to order some hops, I mainly want American hops, but wouldn't mind some others as well. All hops marked with an X are available in 1 kg packs, so these are the most likely to work for a small bulk buy.
To keep things simple & costs down I want to limit this to the people coming to the Brizzy xmas case swap, or for collection only.
Please let me know your interest in 250gm, 500gm, 1 kg lots of any hops listed. We'll then shortlist the viable hops & get an order together for collection on 3rd Dec...

Guys,
Mkae sure you check the year of produce on the hops (no i didn't open the file) Sometimes the cheap hops can be upto two years old. Best to pay a bit more for fresh ones.
cheers

Jeez Darren, negative posts without even being bothered to read the file first :blink: ... They are not "cheap" hops & are all dated...

Hi Darren

Only the Australian and New Zealand hops are from the 2005 crop, the USA, UK and European hops are from the 2004 crop. I have no idea when the 2005 crops for these regions will start to flow through to us. Anyone have more information on this?

Ross and other Brissy bulk buyers, at the end of the day you can only buy what someone is selling, and if you really want Spalt for example, then you have no other choice to get the 2004 harvest, so don't worry.

Cheers
MAH

 

[Ross]

2005 hops from USA/UK will start to flow through next year - I'm more than happy buying the current hop stocks & hopco's quality is excellent...

 

[AndrewQLD]

Hopco's quality is excellent , The list clearly shows the dates on all hops. Darren, no offence intended but you really need to get your facts straight before posting negative comments, it's not fair to the original poster and is not constructive at all <_< .

Cheers
Andrew

Northern hemisphere harvest is usually September.
We get those stocks around Jan/Feb, hence the currently availability of Amarillo around that time.

 

[PeterS]

As a starter, I would like:

250gm Centennial
500gm EKG
250gm Northern Brewer
500gm Perle
250gm Cascade
250gm Chinook

Pellets or plugs OK.

Thanks Ross.

PeterS....

 

[jimmyjack]

Rosco, put me down for pellets, I know Amarillo is sold out but all we can do is keep trying

Cascade 250g
Chinook 250g
Simcoe 250
Amarillo 250
North Down 250
Saaz 250
Hallertau 250


I would prefer smaller measurements but if 250g is the smallest let it be. I will collect earlier than dec 3 (to ease your wallet)

thx JJ

What a touchy bunch you guys are! I don't give a rats donger if you perceive my posts as negative. Just trying to point out that ordering 2 kilo of hops (most of which are ALREADY a year old) could be a false economy.
I bet you throw half of them out because they are cheezy before you finish them. I know because I have done the same myself.
FWIW, splitting bags of hops is a bad idea too. They stay fresher in the original foil they came in as they get less oxygen exposure from opening and removing them.
guess you guys know better though so I will shut-up

 

[sluggerdog]

I'll be in ross hwoever not 100% sure on what I want yet.. will get back to you ASAP.

Darren, for someone who doesn't give a "rats donger" you certainly like to put your oar in...

The hops are as fresh as you're going to get, unless you only want to wait & order new hops as soon as there released & then only brew for 3 months a year & chuck the rest out!!! Is that what you do??

Splitting bags is a fact of life unless you want to order 1 to 5 kg packs for yourself & be prepared to chuck half out if you don't use them - Get real for once, hey!!

These hops will be fresher & better kept than probably any hbs will supply you off their shelves & at a fraction of the cost to boot...

I would suggest that everyone in the xmas case swap has a knowledge of hop storage & have gained nothing from your comments. Critisism just for the sake of it is not a pleasent trait - Try offering something constructive, a better alternative maybe...

Yes Ross, I buy a whole kilo of hops as soon as they arrive in the country. Puts me one year fresher than last years crop. I also get to keep the original foil bag they came in. It is constructive comment no? Maybe you guys could get your act together and buy them when they are fresh! Only buy Aussie/NZ hops now, Euro hops when they get here!

I dis-agree that hops from HB shop will not be fresh. Their turnover is high. If in doubt look and smell them.
Not fresh don't buy them! Grumpies hops are always fresher than mine. I agree that the savings is good but not if you throw half of them away.
There are negatives to every situation. An understanding or awareness of those negatives helps to make better beer.
cheers
Darren
