Hello to you all.I have been selling hops on another forum for some time and just wanted to spread the news. I have 35 varieties, which I sell in 4/oz packages with prices starting @ $.75/oz. I have a web site that will be up and running soon (it is online but not completely functional). If you want to order something, I am taking orders at cheaphops@gmail.com. Thanks for your time,John

I've placed 4 orders with John in the last 3 months and I've been happy with every order. Tell them about the Pliny pack!!!

After consulting so of the other members I am releasing the Pliny Pack for $12.50(there has been a slight price increase). This includes all the hops you need to brew Pliny The Elder based on this recipe that came from Vinnie himself:https://beerdujour.c...r clone PDF.pdfAs always please email me @ cheaphops@gmail.com with your order.The pack includes 13/oz of hops (subject to change based on AA). So brew your own Pliny the Elder.Thanks and happy brewing.

The nice thing about the pliny pack is that the hops are packaged based upon each addition. Each addition is labeled with when you are supposed to add them in addition to hop name & AA.He also does Friday Night specials. As an example here is what he had last Friday.

2 offers tonight.1. $12.254/oz of each:N.brewerWillametteGlacierNorthdown2. $12.504/oz of eachApolloCitraPalisadeColumbus.As always email me @ cheaphops@gmail.com and check out my main post if you need anything else:Hops Blowout- $.85/ounce

So I know this is something that should be in the recipe section, but in that PDF it references the grain bill in percentages. How do you know what the lbs are to use for each grain??

I also want to point out that John is very helpful to work with. 2 days after the suggestion of creating this pack it was available for sale and shipped promptly. Here's a quick pick all the hops I've gotten from him so far.

According to the Brewing Network Sunday Session show with Vinnie in January I think this is the corrrect recipe:Pale malt 90%Cara-Pils 10%Columbus 90 minutesColumbus 45 minutesCentennial 30 minutesAmarillo 0Simcoe DryAmarillo DryVinnie hates crystal malt in hoppy beers. Also his 90 and 45 minute additions are hop extract and I think Hop Union makes the CTZ extract exclusively for Vinnie (Columbus, Tomahawk, Zeus).I have made this several times and it is close.

[HarvInSTL]

Thier is no correct recipe. Vinnie has said more than once that he has never released the exact recipe. Only a close approximation for home brewers. And there are more than a few people that have made it with the post recipe and this hop pack that have been happy. There have even been some side by side tastings with Pliny and with pictures. View the whole thread, but post 67-69 give a great example of what I'm refering to.My link
