Calypso

[Brad Churchill]

This is from Hops Direct's website in the US.

On Friday, November 8th by 3 pm (PST) we will release the 2013 CALYPSO and CHINOOK pellets.
They will be available for purchase online.
Not sure if any one local has any 2012 stock. Or perhaps ask Yob if he has any plans for this hop.
Cheers

Indeed I do, however, I will be awaiting the new season stocks as well, no plans to re-stock 2012 crop of anything unless 2013 is unavailable.

It's a terrible game at around this time and my first real season cross over so Ive NFI what Im doing.. running on gut instinct and adrenalin :lol:

I quite liked the 2012 Calypso that I tried, will certainly be playing with it again.

I did a single hop APA with Calypso recently, 38 IBU (10 @ 60m & 28 @ cube)
The smell from the packet was amazing, I wanted to live in there Pineapple Express style !

Turned out pretty nice, I get a lot of grapefruit from it and maybe a bit of lemon & lime.
Interesting that none of the descriptors say grapefruit but it dominates for me.
