Austin Homebrew Supply WTF!

[Redweasel]

Got my ingredients for the 9-9-9 today and everything looks cool.....except I ordered an ounce of Hallertau to use for bittering only and they only ring in a a mighty 1.5 AA. I was not expecting it to be that low. The ones I get locally are 3.5! Don't have the time or money to get to the LHBS before my Thursday deadline so I'm going to run with it I guess.

Seriously though 1.5? I'm going to get a whole 6.2 IBUs even with a 90 min boil. Why even sell these things?

[Ronthered]

thats a little crazy. your right , whats the point. I guess they think your only using it for a tiny aroma add. seriously, do you have anything else on hand?

[Redweasel]

Not one thing.

Hey if it only for the 999 then you are fine, you really don't want the AA anyway. You just want the preservative aspects of the hops. I used hops that had been pinned up on my garage wall for over a year and a half, talk about zero AA.

Sucks though they should put the current AA of their hops up on the website.

Yea, should be perfect for the 999
