Hi everyone,
I just wanted to put the feelers out there to see if anyone would be interested in a group buy on a hop that sounds pretty interesting and is grown exclusively at a hop farm in the US.
I'm going to Canada in March and have been looking at Americna sites to see if I can get anything while over there. That's when I came across this.

Details:
2015 HARVEST
Alpha Acid 9.4%
[SIZE=small]----------------------------------------------------------[/SIZE]
A 20kg box is $440 US and shipping to my address is $278.60 US (!!!). I have sent them an email to query this amount (as it was high for 1lb bags too), but I suspect its quick shipping to preserve the hops.
The landed cost will be just under $1000 AUD to my door. So basically, it's $50 per kg or $25 per 1/2 kg. If we could get 20 in QLD who can pick up that would be ideal, but let's see where this goes and we can see about shipping interstate from there. I personally don't have a vacuum sealer to re-portion the entire lot.
Let'er rip!
