No worries.

Just PM me your address and ill send it to you!

I would love some Zeus hops if you still have them! I have an extra copy of "How to Brew" by Palmer if one wants it.

Would it be feasible to use cascade for bitter and aroma in the same way 2-hearted is hopped or is there something I'm missing? Adjusting the amounts for the %alpha of course.

Hey guys. I'm tired of paying $2-3 for an ounce of hops. I'm going to place an order at hopsdirect.com but need some advice. I was planning on going the "2-hearted ale" route and just buying a ton of centennial but they are out. What is another hop strain to buy in bulk that can the bitter and...
