£27.60 ...p&p was £12.60

You’re not kiddin’ ...I’ll give a few kilos away to brewing friends and freeze the rest.

I’m not sure where the 2013 came from, two were dated 2015, BBE 11/18, the other had no date on. I’ve opened the Saaz leaf to dry hop something and they smell pretty good to me ...time will tell.

15kg

Thanks guys :thumb: I’ll have a look.

Evnin’ all, I’ve now got a heck load of hops (15kg) thanks to the Brewers Select hops sale, and I’m looking to re-bag them into 500g lots to go into the freezer ...so I now need a vacuum sealing machine. Can recommend a good one without breaking the bank???

They arrived today, 5kg bails/bag (silver plastic) and each in the boxes from the original supplier/manufacturer ...cascade leaf from YCHHOPS, saaz leaf from Hopunion and Hallertau pellets from Hopsteiner. ...now where to store them...

Just send ‘em an email or call ‘em. It’s how shopping used to be 25 years ago before everything went online and you no longer have to deal with a human being. ;)

At £5 for 5kg (+p&p) who needs a group. ...as they’re getting on a bit, 2013 harvest, I’m planning to re-invent hoppy ales :laugh8:

No idea, I’ll find out on Monday when they arrive :laugh8: ...but £1/kg :groupdancing: Over the last few days I’ve had a bit of a lengthy email conversation with a very nice person there (I’ve had a bag of grain from them), and the long and the short is they’re clearly trade oriented, selling...

...they’re old crop ...and you have to buy in 5kg boxes ...and delivery is £10.50 +VAT up to god knows how many kilos... but £1/kg from Brewers Select... “ Hurry, act now! Contact us on 01733 889100 to take advantage of our huge hop discounts including £1 per KG on 2013 crop while stocks last...

This was mine, don’t know how that compares for colour...

FWIW ...I had a free pint of it in one of their pubs, first I’ve ever had, and the aroma was like putting your nose in a bag of hops, rather bitter (obvs) but smoothly bitter, and all in all a very nice refreshing pint.

I just knocked ‘em up in MS Word, printed ‘em out, bit of trimming, and stuck ‘em on with pritt-stick ;-) ...the only free label creation thingys I could find online wouldn’t let me add pics without paying, hence using MS Word...

Ready for a gift...
