Feeling adventurous? Buy hop.

[GerritT]

Came across this bargain: 5 x 100 gram different hops for £7.50 . Harvests of 2016 and 2015. I suspect them to last at least another half year in the freezer (checked the dates with my hops in the fridge).

I'd buy it if delivery to the mainland wasn't so expensive

Thanks for this @GerritT
I am feeling lucky, and worth a punt for a £7.50 plus delivery.
(They charged me £2.99 delivery, so still not a bad bargain at £10.49)

Hmm, not sure what I was expecting, but I got 5 varieties I have never heard of. Oh well, time to experiment I suppose. Not sure I’ll do a lucky dip again.

Might be worth a punt on this next time I'm putting in a bulk order. Obviously very cheap if the postage is already covered.

Sybilla Very good aroma hop with high alpha acids. Comparable with German variety Perle German Hallertau, English Fuggle, Sterling, Cascade.
Saphir, substitutable with Hallertau, Hallertau Tradition, Spalter Select
Mandarina Bavaria is wellknown
Styrian Cardinal?
Eureka, can be described as spicy and herbal with aromas of pine, mint, grapefruit rind, tangerine, citrus, and dark fruits. Suited for bittering additions or for brewers looking for new varieties to use in late additions or whirlpooling.

Half lagers, half ales, at first sight of the hops. I'd work it all into ales, me being me.

Thanks folks.
I was in a glass half empty kind of mood earlier.
But now that my glass is actually half empty (after a couple of brews) I am feeling much more positive.
Lots of options for these hops.
Cheers for the info and advice, much appreciated.
