[berapnopod]

Hi Folks,
For those interested, Graham Sanders is organising a bulk buy of Chinese hops again for the 2010 crop. Since he cannot organise this on AHB, he is organising it here:

Last year's hops were pretty crap, although I kept some and used them for basic bittering. Very disappointing exercise for all involved. Surprised the guy has got sucked in again this year. Edit: considering that the Chinese did him like a dim sim last year.

Just had a squeak at that forum. Will be getting the popcorn and armchair ready when you know what hits the fan :lol: :lol: Should make a good read if he is able to muster enough interest. Lets sit back and watch the fun begin........ BTW Ross, I am a little confused your sight does state you are out of stock? But you also state on that other forum you won't be taking up this years offer :unsure: Not that I want any....

I thought it may have been April 1st ... but it seems that it's serious ... oh well, at least this time most people should know what to expect.

We all know that you have to be a really good brewer to use these hops, hence why I didn't get any and wont be this time either. If the rest of you not so good brewers could please reframe from entering this buy so those that have the skills to use them can do so without us interfering, that'd be swell

$14 a kilo is a great price, if theres a high alpha hop among the selection for bittering. Might give some a go. Were the previous ones stale?

Off topic - That forum link is worth visiting, if only for Yardy's slightly larger avatar. God bless Canada.

Think 2002 stale.

If you read GLS's post it is suggested that what everyone else saw as "staleness" was actually a "freshness" to which you are unaccustomed. So not only are you a poor brewer but you also don't understand your ingredients.

 

[felten]

This sounds better than ever, how can you not get excited about Chinese hops!??

 

[pk.sax]

Sure, why don't we all buy Chinese hops. I suppose given the extra demand they will happily step up production and supply all our HBS. Our farmers can go back to growing POR for the big breweries and we can pretty much (eventually) kiss goodbye to any sort of innovation and fresh produce growers locally.

I'm not old enough to remember how good/big the aircraft industry in this country was but right now it's SHIT. Well, we can just keep shipping more jobs and talents out of here and live on the dole when there isn't any work left here that requires an ounce of brains. The miners will pull us through right?!

Way to go.

PS: I am definitely not against patronizing foreign businesses for quality and innovation. But for the mean mean thing of pure cost!!! Then ppl ask why we don't have any good beers on tap at the pubs.

Shut up.
