Cost of hops

[Ezza]

What's a good English hop substitute for Citra?

 

[samale]

Citra only comes from USA. £7.60 is wildly expensive for 100g.

It's not really when you consider he's getting postage included in the price. If you price 100g of citra in geterbrewed 5.70 then include their postage. It's very similar

 

[Galena]

Is that including postage, i only ordered hops and yeast no postage

No, postage is extra

When you put it that way it's not so bad. I think I've just gotten used to buying a kilo at a time.

I paid £8 for 100g. They'll last me ages in gallon batches so I'm not all that aggrieved.

Which brewery is that please? I'm in ME3

Nelson brewery in the dockyard.
He's got a website, just type Nelson brewery.
He said on a local Facebook site, Maidstone brewers, he has more than is listed.
I think he does click and collect as well.

£38.75 a kilo isn't too bad.

That's what I tend to go for.

I wish I could buy Citra plants in UK

You'd need to buy it and a licence from the patent holder as it's a proprietry strain.

Would certainly be interesting to see how they taste grown in the UK.

 

[Ezza]

Would probably work out unrealistically expensive.

CML do both British and us Cascade but I've found the British to be a bit crap in comparison

 

[Braufather]

I stopped buying USA hops a couple of years ago. Way too expensive just for a slightly different flavour. I'll stick to UK hops. Even better the ones I grow myself.

slighty different flavours???

I think shepperd neame at some stage, in some of the newer brews tried to use local Kent cascade but didn’t work so went back to US version.

 

[Benfleet Brewery]

I’ve found myself grabbing whatever hops are on special offer and devising a recipe to suit recently. Worcester Hop Shop often have some bargains.
https://www.worcesterhopshop.co.uk/special-offersHence my recent brews of a Jester Golden Ale (£1.00 for 100g Jester hops), Vanguard Lager (£1.00 for 100g Vanguard hops) and a Harvest Pale Ale (£1.00 for 100g Willamette). My next two brews will be a Red Ale (£1.25 for 100g Styrian Goldings) and a German Lager (50p for 100g Spalter Select).

Edit: look out for my new TV series, “Brewing on a Budget”

 

[Polcho]

I have an allotment, well two together really. I planted some hops a few weeks ago. lets see how that goes.

So?

I can't think of anything that would even come close.
