Buying Hops In Tasmania?

[QldKev]

Maybe for a 23L batch but might be too much for a 19L batch.

That's not a Randall, that's my fermenter

Malted,

Some years ago there was a bulk buy of local hops.

The hops were packaged as 1kg plugs.

That was the 06 buy, they were really awesome hops.

Just wanted to bump this topic - anyone know if you can buy hop flowers from the farm gate in Tassie? I'm here for a few days and would love to brew with some local hops

I'd love to know too.

I thought I was getting close to getting hops from the farm gate last year through a mate who is an agronomist for some of the hop districts. At the last moment the deal fell over and nothing happened. Will try again and see if I can get some contacts.

Cheers
