Hi all, I don’t know if anyone has posted this but it’s a great interview with Dr. Al Haunold (USDA) and Dave Wills (Freshops) about all things HOPS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpmWm6O0yzU . Enjoy!
I just noticed that spot prices for bulk Centennial are over $21/lb. That is an indicator of how wide spread the use of Centennial is in a variety of commercial beers. What a great hop. Its time to get more in the ground!
nice. I just got about a half dozen cent rhyzomes this weekend. need to get those in the ground!
According to Matt Brynildson at the 2011 NHC, Centennial is the #2 hop used by Craft Brewers. Cascade is #1. Read somewhere that the Centennial crop in 2011 was a little down on yield. One of my favorites.
