Update - I've received 90% of payments and have printed all the associated labels. So I will be spending this evening packaging up the parcels and will hopefully drop them at the collection point late this evening.

Thanks

Hops packaged up and dropped off at myhermes collection point!

Most are in silver bags, make sure you smell them when you open them! These are the bags the hops came in and smell like heaven!

Please post back here when you get them etc.
Thanks and happy brewing!!

Both packs arrived. Thanks.

One question - What AA are the Ahtanum & Summit please? I was thinking it was the number next to the name on your listing but you've written 16.2 on my summit, but it's 13-15 on the listing & there's no number written on the
Ahtanum.

Cheers

Great question!

The numbers written are the AA. Yes the Summit is 16.2!!! I know its a monster! These numbers are written on the side of the big 5kg silver bags so they are accurate and specific for that batch of hops so will be more accurate than anything else. The invoice paperwork also matches this number.

The Ahtanum didnt have an AA rating written on the bag, however the invoice quotes it as 3.4%. I've checked the invoice and all the AAs quoted on there match the ones on the specific bags.

So to confirm the AAs are
Cascade 6.9%
Magnum 12.1%
Ahtanum 3.4%
Summit 16.2%

I am using the Ahtanum I got in the last hop buy. smells lovely in the fermenter. going to dry hop with them as well.

used the summit for the first time for some bittering. again, cracking smell from the pellets.

Hey all,

Sadly I am moving house and am not going to be able to brew for 9months. Therefore i'm going to have to sell off whats left of my hop stash! Gutted!

I have the below left for sale, all bought as part of this thread 1 year ago, its all been stored vacpacked and in a v cool pitch dark metal bin in a corner of my garage. I've been using these hops myself as recent as last week and havent noticed any degregation or quality, but I have reduced prices to reflect etc.

Pellet 500g Bags (I have 3 bags of each)
Cascade £12
Ahtanum £13
Summit £9

Delivery £2.78 via myhermes

Direct message me if you want them, first come first served.
