Other important news: We have hop rhizomes (these are the root cuttings of hop plants that grow once planted) and you have to plant them this month if you want them to grow! We have Cascade, Mt. Hood, Galena, Kent Golding, Willamette and Chinook. They sell for $3.75 each. (If you mention you received this email you will be able to buy them for just $2.99.) Remember to get them as soon as possible because the faster they go in the ground the better the chance of healthy growth. Ask for our growing tips handout.

We have a new counter flow wort chiller which drops your wort from boiling to about 75-80 degrees at a rate of one gallon a minute.

We have the popular 7.5 gallon stainless pots back in $89.95.
We over ordered on some White labs yeast and we are marking the price down to $3.00 on any yeast older than 2 months. The yeast is not bad it just needs a starter culture to insure proper lag time.
