    Sadly... yes. I’ve heard several commercial brewers agonize over the fact that brewers can just throw Citra in a beer and guarantee a homerun. The same brewers that make those comments brew garbage beer almost 100% of the time and can’t grasp that people buy other people’s beer and rate it highly because their beer sucks.

    @honkey, much respect brotha

    As homebrewers are we at a disadvantage getting hops from middle men? As “cheater” hops go does it really advantage or disadvantage us? Or is it obvious, our process and equipment? Thanks man

    Lol by this same logic, is not well-modified malt cheating? Or buying your yeast directly from a lab that propagates a pitch cheating? What about using filtration for water? Cheater!!!

    Silly.
