Chinese Hops? What Next

[QldKev]

I cannot wait for the threads that are going to start popping up in a month or two when these arrive. :lol:

Topics like:
"160 IBU IPA with Marco Polo",
"Recipe suggestions for 250 IBU cluster 2IPA",
"How much hops is too much hops?"
"What can I brew with 500gms of Saaz?
"Hopburst recipe ideas"

There are going to be some big brews stemming from this bulk buy :lol:

Just remember to pop along to AQIS and get your import cert there GLS. Also remember GST and clearances, particarly with Sea Freight, those charges can rack up when there is a customs agent involved.

I'm thinking I just put over $40 of hops into a single brew, so this would see me through at least 5 or 6 brewdays.

I've been reading this thread with great interest but just have one question regarding the evolving bulk buy :-

How does all this import get past Quarantine?

Does the selling company have a clearance to import to Australia?

Does the importer? I expect the hops would be minimally processed meaning it isn't sterilised or otherwise rendered biologically inert?

Anyone working in the industry know what the story is these days?

I recall that Little Creatures was importing hops flowers from the Willamette Valley and they were used and then the hops destroyed under Quarantine supervision.

[raven19]

:icon_offtopic: I checked my brew log last night and I went AG in March this year. 6 months down the track and I am up to brew #31 and #32 this weekend. That's an average of 5 brews a month or approx 168lts per month or 1008lt total for 6 months. Most of these have been doubles as well. I just upgraded Sherman to do triples so I can keep up plus brew some brews I like. So where will the literage be by March 2010? 2500lts? Who knows?

BTW here's some scary stats I have already been through 2.5kgs of hops, +300kg of grain, just under 700grs of yeast, +4800lt of water, 42kg of gas and 9kg of rice LOL!

Consider this though? I have brewed all of the 1008lt thru the colder months! What's going to happen to me thru summer? Yikes?

Mate, this info deserves its own thread!

3G & raven19 will also be keen for some of these hops. Is it moving to a new thread?

Some other good Q's there from wabster.
