When are 2014 hops available?
When are 2014 hops available?
Considering that it is around two months since they have been harvested, when are UK, and for that matter US, hops available to buy?

Re: When are 2014 hops available?
You are unlikely to find any in HBS before the new year, unless its a sought after variety. US hops don't generally land until now/next month. Then again Jan/Feb before they are packed up and shipped out to shops, unless you have a contract with one of the big merchants.

Many thanks for the info. I am a bit surprised that it takes so long to get hops to market.

Re: When are 2014 hops available?
Hops need drying and packaging obviously, but they also need distributing, and I expect contracts have to be fulfilled before hops are released to the general market. They also want people to buy 2012 and 2013 stock so they no doubt hold back on 2014 to clear as much of that stock as possible.
