Hop Harvest 2016

Interesting new breeds hitting the market.
Hopefully Hopzdealz gets a few (dozen) kilos of Denali & 07270. They sounds mighty promising!!

Apparently they put the hops into large bales of breathable material. Wtf? Haven't they heard of oxidation?? Or is it to "mature" the hops oils?

Some of these do sound interesting, I'm also glad and hoping this means no shortages on our favourite varieties due to contracts buying them all up or just simply running out.

Dry them out and prevent mold / mildew I'd suspect

Eureka sounds tasty too.

Hop flowers have always been stored in hop sacks.

Poms are on a hop roll as well.

Denali sounds awesome and Bravo sounds interesting....

That Lemondrop (TM) sounds just the ticket for an upcoming cerveza I'm planning.
Cant get enough corn and citrus in a nice thin lager I recon.
