Hops Shortage

[Parker36]

Why did I start brewing in the middle of the biggest hop shortage in 350 years*? Its impossible to find anything you need and compromising sucks.


*May not actually be biggest hop shortage in 350 years.

If you just started, why would compromise be a bad thing? Is it really a compromise when there's plenty of supply of newer hop varieties to experiment with? C'mon man, put the cook book away and have some fun!

Dont sweat it at all. There are plenty of substitutes out there.
