WANTED!! 50L SS Snake kegs and old stale hops.

[Beau]

Is there anyone out there in the Auckland region looking to offload:

1) Two un-cut SS Sanke kegs for use as fermentors. Spears not required.

2) A reasonable quantity (approx 1 kg) of old stale hops. Preferably noble-ish but not too picky.  I'm trying to source some for a lambic.

Any offers or leads welcome.  Thanks!

[Beau]

Thanks for the lead.  Cheers

Head to the scrappies in onehunga. you'll find a few and only pay scrap prices (40~50). better than them getting baled up and sent overseas!

[Beau]

Any particular one?  There are a few in onehunga....

I just go from place to place down Neilson street. Bring cash, walk in, say "have you got any beer kegs", if no, move on.

[Beau]

Awesome thanks.  Will give it a go.

Hi,

I have homegrown hops that have been in the freezer for a couple of years if you are interested.

Cheers

Hi Rhys.  I am interested.  Any idea of the type of hop and quantity.  Also, do you have any rhizomes?  I've been thinking about growing some of my own also!

Variety

No sure what happened in the last post.

The hops were from a market - they are two different unknown varieties. I have about 500g. I estimate the % alphas at around 8%. What size batch are you looking at doing?

[Beau]

I'm guessing they're full or crushed hops and not pellets?  If so they sound perfect.  The plan would be to use them for a yearly lambic so it would be used for multiple batches over the coming years - beers would later be blended to taste.  I think 500g would keep me going for a while.
