Anybody know where I could get my grubby hands on a # of Nelson sauvin leaf? Ive found pellets everywhere but no leaf
New Zealand Hops direct has galaxy and Pacifica leaf , but I've never seen Nelson leaf anywhere in the US (maybe hopunion might have it, but you'd have to order 11 lb from them).
Go with Label Peelers Pellets. Used them several times for Alpine Nelson Clone. Awesome stuff. Never seen Nelson leaf myself.
Correction... had. I bought 2 lbs of galaxy leaf from them a couple months back and when I bought some citra and amarillo a couple weeks ago they were both still up. They still have Pacifica pellets.
Somehow my boss at Modern Times managed to talk his way into a couple thousand pounds. As far as we know we are the only brewery in America brewing with whole leaf Nelson. Of course we didn't get any contracts for next year... I've always had good luck with pellets, but we wanted some for our hopback and reciculation (Torpedo-style) dry hopping.
February/March. We don't actually get access to the hops until June/July though. We've only packaged one batch of Blazing World using the Nelson leaf. Second batch is still in the tank and smelling outstanding.
