i found out about another bulk buy if your guys are intrested

G'Day All
Well in my quest to make ingredients the cheapest for everyone as well as the
freshest available, I have struck up a deal with a hop distributor.
Depending where you live, how would you like hops at or under $2.00 per 100
grams ($20.00 a kilogram).
Now I have your attention the background. These are are grown in Tasmania, and
are packaged and sent straight from the farm. They are this years crop, and
packed in 1 kg compressed plugs. The varieties and alpha ratings from last year
(as they haven't been harvested yet so cant give this years) are
Hallertau - 4.9
Tettnang - 4.2
Cluster - 5.2
Nugget - 10
Pride of Ringwood - 10
Pride Plus - 13
As you can see, at this cheap price, you can afford to bitter with the low
Alpha hops for better flavours, and I can assure all, these are sooooo fresh,
you do capture easily that ellusive hop aroma and flavours. And best of all,
its sooooo cheap you throw away what you dont use and buy again fresh next
year.
Details - Delivery will be arround 1 May 2005. But there will be no freight
cost if orders are placed by the end of February. Orders must be in 1 kg lots.
This is a great opportunity for brewers to get together and split batches.
Now, what I would like is two things.
1. An idea who may be interested. This is Australia wide by the way.
2. Any people willing to act as a central point in a region to receive the hops
for collection.
Cost. I have no idea at this stage, but I can tell you with frieght to North
Queensland we paid $20.00 a kilo. The supplier tells me the cost will the same
as last year, and with no freight it should be well under that price, even
suggesting lower than $15.00 a kilo. But to play it safe lets say arround
$20.00 a kilo. In ordering you should consider that you will need to order for
the full year, as this is a one off. I know guys who get there order on
freighted from a major city, so its a good offer.
So please let me know who is interested, and how much approximately its likely
to cost. We up here order 15 kilos last year. The offer is better if the order
gets to that size. I can asuure everyone, I am making no money out of this,
just giving a service I think all craftbrewers need and want.
And yes, shops and micros can be part of this as well. And if you want to post
this on other beer lists, please do.
