I emailed the YCH distributor. They have no plans on bringing into Australia. I'll have to bring some over by plane the next time I visit the States.
 
No, to the distributor/importer in Australia. Nice guy, but I doubt they'll do anything unless some of the breweries or big homebrew distributors ask for it.

I only saw distributorships for Europe China and Hong Kong, so does that mean the regular hops are being shipped to Australia but not the Cryo?
 
Just been looking on the American home brew stores websites a lot are out of stock and taking pre orders sent one an email who still may have some and ships worldwide, so fingers crossed. I will try the Hong Kong distributor too.
 
Now that the initial lot of LupuLN2® Citra has been sent out by Brewman to the brewerhood, I'm resurrecting this thread as the Cryo-Hops discussion thread rather than starting a brand new one.

Would mods maybe like to add "Discussion Thread" to the title?


Well ere goes: I was going to do a repeat of my Four Pines Pale Ale tribute that turned out absolutely brilliantly, so I'm altering the recipe to make it more Citra-forward as well as knocking down the red colour a lot.

When opened a packet that arrived half an hour ago, to take a sniff, it was hop heaven so I'll be doing two later additions and keeping the Simcoe as the sole bittering hop in the boil.

Pellets but very soft. The ones in the front I just squished down with a finger tip. But of course due to Brewman's expert packaging and Fastway's smooth, rapid and professional delivery system they arrived in good nick.

OOh my finger now smells nice.

American hop, so I'd like to give an American malt and yeast a go. Maybe Breiss brewers and a Wyeast? ...

I'll call it " 1/8 x 7/16 " in honour of my recent american thread conundrums.

I think the maths works out around 5.5%

Argh, WTF? Nobody posted this on the thread earlier!? I was the initial poster, and had no idea these were available already.
Any word on getting more, they don't appear to be available on the website?

Yes he is getting some more, this was a just to see what interest is generated.
 
The original buy was full virtually overnight - Judging on what I have seen so far I reckon this will be the biggest shift in hops for home brewers since pellets came in, and it will be awesome if Euro manufacturers hop on board with the new technology and do Hallertau, Saaz etc. variants. Finally able to get that authentic "Euro Twang" in my lagers.
 
Where was it posted? How did people find out about it? Should I just email Brewman Dealz directly?
