Anyone know why no Pliny kits?

[Joshm]

Hey guys. I would like to make a Pliny kit but it seems the online stores are on back order. Anyone know of a good exstract kit on hand anywhere? If y do please post it here. Thanks!

Likely an issue with availability and pricing of hops.

Simcoe are hard to get! At least that's why we're out until the new year.

I bought two Pliny packs from farmhouse brewing when they were available as amassing that many ounces of hops in bulk can be tough. Keep checking their site though.

Anyway, I imagine hop kits for Pliny are what matters most. I plan on using one of the packs for a Pliny clone but only using (gasp...shudder) DME and corn sugar to make up the gravity and let the hops plow through the malt.
