I'd try it RummerMan if I were you. Growing them is not complex at all. I grow a good load these days. They are not easy to assess in terms of alpha acids but for late additions to the brew for flavour and nose they are the best. Do it.
Don't give up Blackregent.
Cured my greenfly problem by being a bit less kind to greenhouse crops. Lots of feeding = lots of green leafy growth =tasty greenfly lunch. Being slightly meaner pushes forward flowering and fruiting.
Of course you can ask.
I've been reading this forum for a while now, mainly stealing ideas from better brewers than me. I thought I might get involved...
Been brewing a good while. Still not sure I know what I'm doing however.
