I was getting worried about customs trouble as sometimes here I have some hassles with packages getting through. But finally my Riwaka and Pacific Gem hops arrived from the UK today. I'll be brewing a NZPA this weekend. I've already read other threads about these hops but am looking to see if anyone has any last minute advice for me. Sounds like Pacific Gem is a strong, pungent one that can be used nicely in conjunction with other hops at somewhat lower amounts. Maybe a sort of supercharger like Nelson Sauvin even though it tastes different. I'll be using Riwaka as the primary, Pac. Gem as secondary hop, probably at 25% of the hop charge.
Anyway, any last minute advice or input is appreciated. I'll report back on them sometime before winter hits.
