i just picked up a motherload this morning.

 

[bmason1623]

OK. My wife is picking up the kid from school so I will be here all afternoon today. Please stop by and pick up your grain if you can. Thanks.

[Polboy]

with next group buy i will be advocating more hops purchase, $7.5/lb of saaz is a great deal, end they smell fantastic, i think i got high last nigh when i was dividing my 2lbs

I second this, though after this group buy I'm probably set on Hops until winter. Whenever I see prices anywhere else I scoff at how much they're marked up.

 

[wegz15]

Does anyone know the alpha acid of the saaz? I'd be interested in hops again as well

 

[Neopol]

The catalog says 5-7% for the saaz

Edit: See Bills photo a few down.... Damn thats way off the catalog.

 

[Polboy]

im brewing 10gal DIPA tomorrow night and im putting 13oz of galena, cascade and willamette all together, adding hops for dry hoping there goes whole pound, for sure i prefere to spend $7.5 than $20 for than. Im already planing for next brew buy to get 4-6LBS of 2-3 different kinds of hops to brew lots of IPAs for fall/winter months

Here's the info on the Saaz:

the Saaz is weighed out in front of you. Wegz15 dropped of the hops for the buy that coordinated. Those are all partitioned and labeled ready for pick up.
