Needs Hops! Fast!

Post by alwilson » Mon Jan 24, 2011 2:44 pm

Hi Guys,

My LHBS has let me down and cant source the Nelson Sauvin hops as he suspected. I have brew day planned for this Saturday.

Does anyone know of a supplier that can get me 100-200g of Nelson Sauvin for Saturday?


Cheers All,
Alex

Ah, yeah - I just assumed it would be postal job either way.

I'm in Chessington, Surrey.

None of the online retailers in the UK have them in as far as I'm aware. I have 100g under lock and key!

Try Craftbrewer Austrailia. They deliver pretty fast, I bet you would have them for Saturday.

Don't tell him that. He might be desperate enough to drive up there and liberate them, and I bet you have not used a very strong lock... :D

Desperate enough I just paid almost more in shipping than I did for the hops!

But your's are at least safe now, Mysterio.

Email/phone the shop, they should send it via royal mail for a quid or two

You're right, it's just hidden under the fish fingers and ice cream..

'June' is the official date for when a new shipment comes in from NZ, as far as I know.
