Anyone know of a NZ source of strisselspalt hops?

Hi everyone..

If anyone knows of a supplier for strisselspalt hops would they please share?  If none exists, does anyone know if pellet hops are possible to import, and if so is it worth the potential MAF biosecurity pains?

Cheers

I don't know of an NZ supplier , but there's no problem importing pellet hops. Only cone hops are prohibited. It's worth getting them nitro-flushed and vac-packed in Mylar. That way they fare better in shipping and professionally packaged foodstuffs tend to attract less attention from MAF.

Thanks for the advice! Cheers.
