You can order them from New Zealand. Max 400 grams, NZ$35 plus NZ$17 postage (untracked). $52 for 400g. Which is about ��£23... :smile:

Tracked postage is $40. Makes it ��£33 total....

I was just about to suggest that. You could may be order 400g and sell what you don't want on the forum a little above cost to cover the postage/tracking. You know they'll be buyers for it :thumb:

Yes. People who know Riwaka want it.
 
You have good taste in hops. I think Citra suit certain things, and this is not one of them, IMO. I'd use one of the other two. But I'd boil some of the Nelson i think, not just dry hop. Or you could just dry hop with the FF.

Ok,job done
Boiled 50g of Nelson Sauvin for 10 min and 25g of American IPA hop pellets I found in bottom of freezer,and added 200g do dextrose.
Have a fortnight to decide on dry hopping.

OK - boiling the 50g Nelson for 10 mins will have added about 20 IBUs to the bitterness. So you've increased the bitterness a fair amount, but a good amount IMO, and added a lot of Nelson flavour. It will be a much hoppier, more bitter, American style beer. That would suit me, hope it suits you?

Yeah,it should.
I only bought the Nelson after speaking to one of the Williams Bros (Alloa brewery ,(The Joker,Fraoch etc in case your not familiar) who assured me it was the secret ingredient in the Caeser Augustus hybrid lager/IPA.
I may not dry hop at all ???
I may keep the Falconers Flight for a weirdly hoppy lager now I have a fermentation freezer and two cans of Coopers Euro Lager ?
Or Citra,too much choice,too little intelligence.
Thanks for your reply
 
ON CALL AGAIN.....might push the boat out and have coffee instead of tea. Bet the bloody phone stays quiet all night too....

Ahh. Leaving shortly for a meal....might have a pint as well......[emoji3]
 
Got a selection of my hoppy numbers in the fridge, with Rangers on the telly tonight, I feel I may need them all.
 
Going to try my English IPA (mostly based off Greg hughes English IPA) only been in the bottle for 9-10 days. I know it will improve hughely in a few weeks but I didnt really sample it properly so I cannot wait...

Will probably have a stout and a saison

Will be interested to hear how yours progresses. I tried my version last night after 6 days (I can never wait very long), definitely needs more time and not as readily drinkable as my US style IPAs at a similar age.
 
I'm on Greg Hughes Irish Red Ale tonight. A little dissapointing this as I didn't have any fuggles hops and substituted admiral for it (adjusting amounts to get the bittering the same) However it tastes more or less the same as the Northern Brown. Guess that's the admiral hops.
