Anybody use Delta Hops? I'm thinking about buying some... All reviews i've read are kinda old and incomplete.

Hey all, I am currently drinking my 10 day old american stout ( admittedly it is on the small side of the style) and it is wonderful. I'm just curious if others drink their beer this young. I normally turn an average sized beer from grain to glass in 14 days. What about y'all? Cranny
