OK following the demise of my hop freezer last winter, and not being allowed to store the hops in the indoor freezers, I have just cleared the hops store of all the old hops (2.5kg fuggles, 1 Kg Golding, I kg Progress, 1 Kilo Bobek, 500g Saaz B, 500g Pacific Gem plus assorted Blocks of Target, Mittelfruh)

Tough job, but they were old and have not been stored optimally all year . . . . So I bought myself a new freezer . . . and She hasn't seen it yet . . . plus while down at Phil's I did a bit of bargaining and now my hops store contains

500g Home grown Fuggles from 2009
500g Nelson Sauvin
100g Bramling Cross
180g Southern Cross
1Kg Goldings
1Kg Fuggles
1Kg Bobek
1Kg Hallertau Mittelfruh

Plus a few odds and sods worth keeping

So I should be fine for a few beers this year . . . What's in yours?
 
That is a healthy stock Aleman :thumb:

My current holding is:
0.5kg cascade
0.5kg northdown
300g fuggles
400g goldings
250g challenger
100g styrian goldings
100g aurora
40g pioneer
100g centennial
50g galena
200g chinook

SWMBO is very patient about the whole thing. I know she isn't overly keen on me taking up almost half of the freezer space though :lol:
 
I have quite a mixture too!
I am in the same boat as MarkP .. managed to squeeze these in to family chest freezer!
They are all vacuum sealed in small quantities:-
750gm cascade
250gm northdown
200gm fuggles
200gm East Kent goldings
500gm challenger
200gm styrian goldings
200gm Northern Brewer
200gm Hallertau Hersbrucker
125gm perle
100gm Magnum
100gm Wild Hops (think they are Bullion)!

I will be using some Cascade, Magnum and Perle on Saturday when I make Sierra Nevada :thumb:
 
100gm EKG
100gm northdown
70gm styrian goldings
60gm challenger
50gm amarillo
40gm fuggles
40gm goldings
25gm bramling cross
brewing the next 2 weekends so will vist Cliff at beersunlimited and stock up fairly soon. Going to get arora again and probably progress.
 
I hope you are keeping those Nelson Sauvin safe - they are like hobby horse poo at the moment. :lol:

I have

500g challenger
500g hallertauer
200g Fuggles
100g EKG
50g Bobek
50g Chinook

I also have a collection of very badly labled bags of various types.

I've actually decided to keep less stock this year and purchase them more regularly as required. I had a rediculous amount of hops last year that I bought in bulk and I threw out far too much. I also find that the fresher the hop the better the beer (probably down to my dodgy storage facilities).
 
Brambling Cross 710 gms
Fuggles 22 gms
Goldings 114 gms

Hoping to supplement from my own hops, 1st flowering year.

I have to just vacuum pack and keep in the dark as my alloted freezer space has my yeast cultures in it!
 
2kg Beata
500g Centennial
500g Fuggles
250g Green Bullet
250g Williamete
200g Lubelski
200g Challenger
200g Nelson Sauvin
200g Hallertauer
200g Tettnang
100g Mount Hood
100g Simcoe

I'm sure there's some more too, that's just off the top of my head.

I've got about 50kg of others in a different coldroom too.
