Re: Group hop buy?
If there is enough interest I can try and do it again? Its a lot of work but if people are happy the previous format I could do it again.
Reply back here if you want in, so I can gauge if we have enough interest to make this happen. We need a critical mass to be able to break up an order of a few 5kg bales.
I will post back with what hops we can source, dont anticipate any reason prices would need to change from last time.

Re: Group hop buy?
Right I've looked at whats available and sadly its not massively exciting. The most exciting hops just arent available outside contract. Hops are similar to what we got before, all of which I have found to be great.
If we get enough people we can get any of the below:
Price per 500g bag - All pellet
Hops - Alpha - Country - Year
Cascade 5-9 USA 2015 £16
Again do these need an explanation?! Lychees Floral Grapefruit
Ahtanum 5-8 USA 2014 £17
Used lots by Brewdog, similar to cascade Floral Citrus Lemon
Summit 13-15 USA 2014 £12
Big American hop, great in IPAs, Pink Grapefruit Orange (this is a personal fav of mine, amazing big orange flavor, great in IPAs and dry hopping)
Magnum 11-15 GER 2015 £11
Great neutral bittering hop, use everywhere! Resinous Herbal Pine
Northern brewer 11-15 GER 2015 £11
Well-rounded bitterness and a full, woodsy aroma of pine and herbs. See Anchor Steam beer.
Delivery charges (@cost sent via myhermes)
0-1kg £2.78
1-2kg £3.78
2-5kg £5.79
So is there enough demand to make this take flight? PM me your orders or post back here. We need to hit at least 3kg for each hop to make an order, I will take on the last 2kg as I do a lot of brewing so get through it. Magnum and Northern Brewer are pretty similar so we might have to combine substitute orders on these.
As always I'm only doing this for the good of the group, its a huge amount of time and effort, i have had loads of positive comments from people on this thread and via PM which I hugely appreciate, but if you have something negative to say please keep it to yourself......My wife will think I'm mad to do this again! I just love hops

Re: Group hop buy?
I'll go for 500g each of ahtanum & summit and will lump in for some more if it helps tip the balance.
Cheers for doing this again.

Re: Group hop buy?
I was really impressed with the quality of the hops in the last group buy - they've made some great beers. If available I would go for 500g of Northern Brewer and 500g of Ahtanum!

Re: Group hop buy?
I'd be up for 1kg Summit and 1kg Magnum
Re: Group hop buy?
I'd be up for Ahtanum, Magnum and EKG 1kg of each please. I'd much prefer PELLETS if possible.
Sorry to be a pain. Can I change this?
I'd like to make my request for: Ahtanum 500g, Cascade 500g, Magnum 500g and EKG 500g Pellets if possible
Thanks.
Tony

Re: Group hop buy?
I still have Summit and Ahtanum left from last time (plus a freezer full of assorted others) so won't be joining this round, no matter how tempting, but I can vouch for the quality of service from PBT.
Ready to go: Malt extract, grain, yeast and a freezer full of hops.
