My current curiosity is directed toward neomexicanas hops. Hard to find a lot of information on particular varieties and even harder to find varieties available for home brewers. From my research it appears that Medusa is the most available (that means that a VERY limited amount are sold through the typical Ebrewshops). San Juan Ruby Red gets some on line discussion but it is even harder to find than Medusa. Stumbled on a hop called Mezcla (1, 2 and 3) that is being sold at $5.00/oz (WOW) by Amilia Hops on line. The producer claims this is a neomexicanas variety that they have been working on isolating and growing for the last few years and are now selling in limited quantities.
So, I fell for the "limited availability" pitch and brought a couple of oz (did I mention it cost $5.00 an oz!!!).
Has anyone on here ever brewed with this stuff before? What should I expect? Did I just trade my cow for the homebrew version of "magic beans?"
