NZ Hop Harvest availability

So I know the NZ hop harvest occurs in March/April since their growing season is opposite ours. If they harvest in "our" spring of 2014, is that the 2014 harvest?

Regardless, how long does it take for their harvest at the beginning of the year to reach distributors and vendors in the U.S.? Has anyone gotten their hands on hops from NZ that were harvested this year yet?

I bought in on a group buy last year for some Nelson Sauvin and we have still not received our shipment...

Bueller?

After speaking with LD Carlson and Hop Union last month, I was told the NZ hops are on the water (mid july). They should have landed by now so I would guess Hop Union is breaking down orders etc right now.. if not very soon. Once this happens, we should see retailers list them.


Stay strong brother, Nelson will be here soon!

Farmhouse has 2014 Galaxy. They just got it in a week or two ago.

^Galaxy is an Australian hop

Well thats at least a bit encouraging.
