I bought a kilo of Chinese Saaz on that forum last time and they are head and shoulders above the original buy through AHB - as it happens I have a Chinese lager about 4 days into ferment with Danish yeast at 16 degrees, I'll be bringing samples to BABBs November meeting but should be ready before then for general tasting.
OK I've finally bloody finally got a brew through with the Chinese Saaz and can report:

*************************************
No complaints, not super aromatic but a lot better than the Chinese Saaz in the bulk buy last year that was done through AHB forum
Nice crisp bitterness without the astringency of last year, and goes very well in the above recipe.
I'll purchase - and recommend - if the buy is going to fire off next year.
I want Harratau !! B)

WOFL!
Why did this post appear twice and why am I not able to delete it without AHB hanging for an indefinite amount of time?
Now my original post is gone but this one still remains.Why did this post appear twice and why am I not able to delete it without AHB hanging for an indefinite amount of time?
from what I have read:I've seen the Chinese hop buy referenced several times and not in a good way.
What was the issue, were the hops old or were they not the promised types or anything?
(just curious )
thanks
