Looking at DLs book for my next brew - a few of the recipes I am interested in mention W.G.V hops - cant say I have seen them. Are they readily available?

I didn't notice in the links, if it's there, I missed it. But W.G.V. stands for Whitbread Golden Variety.

I believe they are a strain of East Kent Goldings and can be used in place of East Kent Goldings if necessary.
