Just got my hands on some Southern Passion (9.6 AA) hops. Anyone any experience with these or any SA hops? *cough* DODGE *cough*

Never even heard of SA hops before. Smell good?

Dodge

Sounds great! Never used any SA hops since they can be hard to come by outside SA. some say it gives earthy and spicy notes with that passion fruit smell. I think it's an aroma hop.

Can you get more???? ::)

Sounds like a question for R@H (The brewer formerly known as Ratsathome)
Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

CARA

Can't get more but defo have enough to share.
Not sure on smell as they are vac packed.
Did a bit of research and SAB have been developing 3 strains for about 20 years, this is one of them.

They're yours but if there is a little to share, maybe a brewday together?

CARA

Sounds good to me, your place or mine? ;)

Don't mind! Either way to brew and have some good beer to sample after brew day during the night sounds fab!  8)

pm me what you think! This is your hops I think they are unique and should take the lime light! I'm just excited that you have some home grown hops that I could join in a brew with.
