[Ansteorra] XMas Gifts for your Brewing Friends

[Matthias the Brewer]

All,

I did some research on a similar sale a few months ago.  Hops (no matter how
stored) loses its acidity over time.  This means that those treasured alpha
acids go down.  

When a company like this is dumping their hops at a low price like this,
they're probably selling old hops which are no longer possessing their
advertised alpha acids.

I learned this the hard way and have about 2 pounds of misc hops in my
collection that is of qusetionable Alpha Acid.

Let the buyer beware.

Matthias

Northern Brewer is having a sale on hops:

http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/pound-hops-sale

<http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/pound-hops-sale>"... this is only an
awesome deal if you need more than a single pound. I'm not saying it's bad,
just bear in mind that there's $7.99 shipping per order. A snigle-pound
[sic] order eliminates a lot of the discount.

So... get all your brewing friends together!"
