Just browsing Ebay and came across these

He seems to have a few varieties, is he kosher?

Ta...

BTW, i'm just curious - vaguely sensing this might send some guys delirious and cause furious bidding hysteria (and consequently the bidding prices), so, if you're interested, you're not competing against me... I haven't got a garden yet!!!

Hi Scruffy

Yep, from my experience this guy is the goods. He's a member of this forum. I bought a Chinook off of him last year and it grew beautifully but, alas, no flowers. I'm sure it will go like a beauty this spring and summer though - the rhizome is huge. I'm happy to share some of that BTW if anyone wants some of it (no charge, but I'm not posting it).

Cheers

Mine also grew great and I also got about 140g dried flowers from it, again from this seller.
Pretty happy for my first year crop.

Wow - what did you get Wambesi? I had mine stuck in a pot all summer, and it was a pretty mild one up here, so I'm not that surprised I didn't get anything.

Same, Chinook.
It was also in a pot, as will my POR, Tettnang and (possible) cascade this summer - interesting to see how these go.

It's weird though, some people's just have not been producing while others have gone nuts, see how you go this year and if nothing give me a yell back and I'll send you a cutting.
 
Yep, he's all good - nice guy, good service. I have a couple from him and he even threw in a freebie as well!

Onya, Wambesi - lovely gesture! Have you used your hops? (Dumb question - as if you couldn't stop yourself! :rolleyes: ). Do you think they were bitterer or in anyway different than the bought stuff? I love Chinook as a bittering hop.

I've used home grown chinook hops in a simple APA.

tastes nothing like US chinook, the people who have tried it agree its closer to B Saaz.

I like it a lot :icon_drunk:

afaik, I've not tried a beer with "proper" US chinook or with "proper" B Saaz.....

All I know is it was indeed a bloody nice beer.....but next time, I'll try it when sober, for a more realistic evaluation. :lol:

I think you'll find, if you use the search function, that he's either a forum member, or obtained a some/many of his hops from other forum members here. :)

Nothing weird about that. Climate zones, soil condition, aptitude for having a 'green thumb' all come into play. Most plants, hops or others, aren't just a 'set and forget' process.
 
kosher perhaps but due to the faxt he alledgedly obtained his initial rhizomes free not always popular with some members of the forum .. ive sold rhizomes too but only ones that ive bought in the first place and to recover some costs of the purchase ...kinda an unwritten law of mine and others if i didnt pay for it it comes free if i pass it on ,
 
Go with Hops West, hes located in Albany, W.A. I grew a cascade, hallertau and chinook last season, and the taste and aroma was pretty damn close to what i buy from the homebrew shop.
Hes a great bloke to deal with.
