I'm tempted by this deal but I feel I already have too many hops in the freezer. Have you guys bought this deal in the past too?

Problems of a home brewer! LOL

HWMO got the Cubs World Series set. Gotta keep that alive, one of the good things that happened in 2016! Unless you're a Cleveland fan....but I'll happily root for them next year. That was some kick ass game, Game 7......

What's the other off the wall one? Inquiring minds want to know. [emoji6] My order should arrive tomorrow. I can't wait to see what I get with the pound of Simcoe I ordered with it!!

 

[Pkrd]

American Ale and Supernova malts for my use-up-what-hops-are-left-over IPA, and calcium and magnesium for water additions.

I forgot the northern brewer and that one both got a leak in the bag. So i put them both in a big vacum bag snd covered the lable up.

have you had good luck with hops that old? Always looking to save some green as long as quality doesn't suffer.

Yes I have. I've been happy with the hops I get from Niko Brew. I'm sure many others would agree with that too.

Now I need to figure out what to brew with the Opal and Sonnet hops. I've been wanting to try the "Grab Bag" sale to get something new.

Well it was in fact yesterday but, I got a nice little package of brewing supplies through the post;

4kg Maris Otter, 1kg crystal C-75, 1pack Wyeast London ale 1028, 1 pack each of Nottingham, Windsor, US-05 and a couple of ounces each of Centennial, Simcoe and Amarillo.

 

[MaryB]

8 packets of Notty Ale yeast for my house ale recipe(my own, simple recipe of 16 pounds British Golden Promise, 3 1/2 pounds of Victory, 3/4 pound UK Extra dark crystal, 11 gallon batch, 2oz Perle at 60, 2 oz Hallertau at 5min) that everyone keeps drinking leaving me short of beer... and 50 pounds of Victory for the house ale! at 3 1/2 pounds per batch it will be gone in a year or less at the rate friends have been using my setup to brew, I make them pay for ingredients and do the work as I supervise if they want beer to take home!

 

[Jtk78]

A new propane regulator and line (old one was 10psi and hard to get 6 gallons to a good boil. New one is 30psi), and a small fountain pump for my swamp bath to keep the water moving. Also ordered a bench capper.
