Nah, I just tipped it. I did think of sparging it to get some spare starter wort, but I couldn't be bothered. It's such a small beer I didn't feel like I'd wasted much.

I am pretty sure Mike at Brewer's Coop had some Simcoe in his hops fridge when I was there last Saturday...

I rang him today and he has some in stock. He's bagging some up for me to collect on the way home :)

Yeah when I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago he said they were pushing the NZ hops rather than supplying any US.... I'm sure Liberty will come to the party though! :)

We had a pretty good month this time round, so I'm pretty confident that I can start stocking up for my humble contingent. It's going to cost me $thousands though!

 

There will be some European varieties as well as a good stock hard to get of UK hops.

 

If I get a few groveling "please sir's" I might even see if I can *afford* to stock up on the US ones.
