We have come across another opportunity for our hop buy. It should have a much more extensive listing of hops to choose from, but we will need to put together a list of varieties that we want and then send it off so that they can tell us if they have the hop in stock. I realize this seems counterintuitive. Why not just tell us what they have in stock and proceed from there, but this is how they have requested us to do the buy. The minimum lb for each variety will have to be in 11# increments. There is going to be a lot less flexibility than the current arrangement that we have where we can order e.g., 8# or 17# etc. There are significant price differences though between the two options. So each has pros and cons.
I have posted a link below and then will be sending an email out momentarily to everyone, that is part of the zoho hop buy, but I will be using Google Docs again. It will work better for sharing the file. Please take a look at the email and then look through the .pdf. Post in this thread requests of hops that you would like to order. I will compile them into one sheet, and then we can send it off to determine if the hops will actually be able to be ordered. We can give about a week to put this list together.
As always, there are hops NOT available to begin with: Centennial, Simcoe, Citra, Amarillo, Australiain Galaxy, Nelson Sauvian, Falconer's Flight, Sorachi Ace; yeah the good ones, I know.
Be aware that we are experiencing issues with getting preferred aroma hops this year, but it is also speculated that we will be experiencing very similar issues next year with bittering hops. So keep this in mind when putting a list together of requested varieties.
EDIT: WORKING ON FIXING LINK **Appears to be on Google's end** Email has been sent out instead.
It is not decided for certain that we are changing hop farms, but it is just another option for us. We'll post with updates, so keep an eye out for them.
