2015 Citra - any around?

Post by Matt in Birdham » Thu May 12, 2016 12:29 pm

Seems to be a shortage of Citra around - none of the usual UK suppliers has 2015 pellets in stock, nor even the US suppliers that I sometimes get mail order.
I suppose its not the end of the world but I recently brewed a 3 Floyds Zombie Dust clone (all citra, and lots of it) which has turned out fantastic and I'd quite like to brew it again!
Does anyone know of a UK supplier with stock of 2015 harvest?

Geter'Brewed had some Citra 2015 Pellets Available 450g for 25 quid!

I've used the Stryian hops in a few beers from them and they are fantastic :thumb:

Thanks! I'll grab 200g or so which is enough to do this recipe again.. bit of a extravagance but I think it's worth it :)

edit: £6 shipping - I'll leave it until I need some other stuff and hope they are still in stock..

Thanks mate but I did look there and according to their site they are out of stock? Am I missing something?
I actually got some hops from there a couple of weeks back, and the citra wasn't available then either.

No worries - thanks for looking :) Maybe I'll just bite the bullet but £18 all up for 225g might be a little excessive, especially all going into one beer.. probably a better idea to just use up some of the hops in my freezer instead.

Thanks for all the tips chaps. Yakima Valley Hops has now got Citra back in stock and I have another lb on the way (and a pound of Mosaic and Cascade :) ). It's no cheaper getting them from the US (works out roughly the same with shipping + import charges), but I have found the quality excellent from them.
