Jester Hops

[Taf]

Anyone else interested in buying some Jester hops? They are the new UK hop that are supposed to give the strong fruity US hops a bit of competition. I'm going to put in an order, but need to get over £25 worth, to get free UK shipping, and then via parcel motel, and probably only want approx 300g myself. They are quite expensive at £6 per 100g so that's approx €7.70 per 100g, but they are supposed to be very nice.

2014 Jester is a new hop that has come out of the Charles Faram breeding program. We have very limited quantities so when it's gone, it's gone! This variety has a hugely intense flavour with wild American tropical fruit aromas. The aroma notes are grapefruit, lychees and blackcurrant.

Alpha acid: 6.92%
Beta acid: 4-6%
Co-Humulone: 23-28%
Total oils: 0.6-1.2%
Myrcene: 45-50%
Humulene: 2%
Farnesene: 0.1-0.2%

would it be easier to do by price instead of weight?

They're going to be weighed anyway, so no difference in packing ~130g for a tenner (100g for €7.70 = 13g for €1 = 130g for €10) instead of 100g for somewhere around €7.70.
It'd save you getting my shitchange jar dumped on your round table.
I'll help you weigh etc again if you want, and i won't even make you come rescue me and syphon petrol this time (probably)

either way, I'll take 100g or a tenner's worth

They are coming in 100g packs, so that is why I am pricing per 100g. Bring a €10 note, and I can give you change!

I might take another 100g one but not in Cork city very much. Where and when can I meet you to hand over the tenner?
I'll be on time then.

They sound interesting. If you'se don't sell them all I can take 100g if postage to Donegal isn't too much?

The minimum to get free UK shipping is 600g, so we are just above that already, and I'm not really keen to start posting items, as would prefer to keep things local. Sorry. If I end up with any leftover, will keep you in mind.

I'm based in Blarney and work in Ballincollig, and am not in town much either. If you can make it to one of the meetups at the Fran Well, that's probably the best place to hand over.

You'll have to be careful with the dimensions for the parcelmotel, but it sounds like an interesting hop. I'll definitely try it. Thanks

I've had 5kg of hops delivered to parcel motel before, so we should be okay. I'm going to cap this at 1kg, so we should be grand even considering the extra packaging for 100g sizes.
