hops storage

Wed Sep 09, 2009 6:30 pm

I just got this from a supplier in regards to pellet. Great info!

"The storagability of the pellets greatly depends on the packaging and cold storage conditions. Pellets should either be packaging in a vacuum pack or soft pack (air is displaced with Nitrogen or mixed gas N2/CO2. During the pelleting operation the lupulin glands are ruptured exposing the soft resins (alpha acids, beta acids and hop oils) to air and subsequent oxidation. Generally, we recommend 2 years in cold storage (27 - 32 deg. F.) however, our internal studies indicate properly packaged pellets can be stored in cold storage for up to 5 years with only a fraction of a percent alpha loss."

Price Drops!

Sun Sep 13, 2009 10:21 am

Fellow BNers,

I just lowered the prices of a few varieties. They're not just the ones that say "price drop". Amarillo was one of them. Thanks for the support of us and in turn the support of The Brewing Network!

Sorachi Ace Friday!

Tue Sep 22, 2009 3:18 pm

We should have Sorachi Ace in stock Friday. We will begin with a limited supply and I don't expect it to last. Thanks for the feedback and support, keep an eye on the website for when I put it up (may list it before friday, so keep checkin'!). I also found that we have a bit more Amarillo than I thought, so we can sell a bit more per pound. Thanks.

New Variety - Sorachi Ace!

Sat Sep 26, 2009 8:23 pm

I've had quite a few requests for this, so we did a trade with a local brewery and now have a small supply available to order. Depending on its popularity we may get more in once we run out. Thanks folks.

NikoBrew Tees!?

Tue Nov 03, 2009 6:54 am

Fellow BNers,

I'm planning on getting a small run of teeshirts made to start, and if they sell getting more. The price will probably be $13.95 (when you use the BNARMY code) and a couple bucks more for 2xl or bigger as those cost more to get made. We finally got a kickass high res logo done, and I know this is advertising for us so we're not looking to make a killing from these, just to have some fun, have more brewers see us, and make one more day folks can go without doing their shirt laundry :P Feedback is appreciated as always, and we expect to have these available within 3 weeks.
