So I'm new to brewing, new enough that I haven't brewed through an entire hop crop harvest and understand the timeline of the harvest.
My LHBS has a pretty stout selection of hops, so I never noticed with the exception of online, people claiming stores being out of a variety of hops.
I was looking to order some stuff online and grab some hops, and most of the ones I'm familiar with, or want, are gone, and said to be waiting for the 2012 harvest.
So, my question.
From reading, it appears now, August is roughly the time the hops are harvested from the crops.
When will we see the new crops of hops out for us to buy again?
Is this the time of the year, when stuff starts to get low at the home brew stores?
