Guatemala Huehuetenango (Fair Trade)

Certified organic, shade grown, and Fair Trade. Pronounced "way-way-ten-ang-oh", an exciting name for a lively coffee! The growers of this fine coffee are members of the Asobagri Cooperative, a co-op that provides many benefits to its members in exchange for upholding strict quality standards. The co-op also requires the organic farming members to cultivate shade trees, practice soil conservation, and use composting methods. This is a quality Guatemalan coffee with a bright spicy-peppery acidity, and a smooth, rich body. The coffee finishes with a distinct rich smokiness that fades into a spicy chocolate finish. This coffee sells out quickly each year, but we were able to purchase a respectable amount and should be able to fill orders for most of the year. Recommended roast: Light roast to French.

Perlick Sanitary Stainless Steel Faucet: $39.90

Or Get an All Stainless Steel Shank Assembly plus the faucet for: $69.90

The Perlick sanitary stainless steel faucet is a vast improvement over the traditional chrome plated brass faucet. This faucet has all stainless steel inner working parts and seals at the forward end which prevents beer form drying out inside and causing the lever to stick and a buildup of oup in your beer lines. A must have for home kegerators that may sit idle for days. The Front spout also removes for easy cleaning, reducing the amount of time and effort needed for maintaining a clean tap. If you purchase just the faucet, the knob and faucet shank assembly shown in the picture are not included.

A completely stainless steel faucet assembly is a worthwhile investment for completely taint free dispensing and is essential for serving beverages with higher acidity such as cider, wine, or even cocktails. Ready to install in a refrigerator or cooler, the only tools needed are a drill with a 1" bit or hole saw and a wrench. The shank can fit in walls up to 3 1/2" thick and is solid stainless steel. Comes with a detachable beer nut with a stainless steel hose barb on the back for easy disassembly for cleaning or changing kegs.

***NOTICE: Hop Purchase Limitations As of 5/1/08*** Due to the current hop shortage we are restricting orders for hops to be sure we will have a reliable supply that our regular customers can count on. If you place an order for more than 2 oz. of hops and have not made a purchase from us prior to September 1 2007, your order will be refused unless it contains enough organic brewing ingredients to brew at least one 5 gallon batch of organic beer.

If you have purchased organic brewing ingredients (including malts or kits) from us prior to September 1, 2007 or you can prove to us that the other ingredients you are brewing with are also organic, we will ship an order for more than 2 oz. of hops.

Our cooperatively owned business is dedicated to promoting all organic beer, brewed only with organically grown malt and hops. Currently there are not enough organic hops available to brew enough 100% organic beer to meet the current demand. As a result, we have pledged to only sell our organic hops to brewers who can verify they are using the hops to brew organic beer.

We are also restricting retail sales to a reasonable limit of 2 lbs per person. Orders that contain more than 2 lbs of hops will be adjusted as we see fit, and we are limiting sales of hops to individuals to no more than 6 lbs. in a 1 year period.***

2006 New Zealand Organic Whole Hops: 10% Off!

We have a few pounds left of 2006 crop New Zealand Pacific Gem and Hallertaur hops we are selling before we release the 2007 crop for sale. This is the last opportunity we will likely see for some time to buy New Zealand organic hops at the old price levels, as costs for new crop is significantly higher.The 2007 crop is available now at the new higher price. Our hop purchase limitations do apply to sale hops, so please read about this under the picture to the left.

New Zealand Hallertaur: A versatile hop that is similar to the German Hallertau Mittelfruh variety with a pleasant floral aroma suitable for flavor and aroma, yet it has a relatively high alpha acid content, making it useful as a bittering hop. It has the ability to retain its clean, crisp taste even in older beers. This hop is a good choice for German style lagers and European and American ales. We like this hop as a substitute for Hallertaur or Tettnanger hops, and its clean aroma works well for aroma or dry hopping American style hoppy pale ales and IPAs.

New Zealand Pacific Gem: New Zealand is an excellent place to grow organic hops because none of the usual hop diseases and pests such as downy mildew exist. Pacific Gem is a very high alpha hop with a pleasant citrus aroma good for bitters and dark beers. Some brewers have reported that Pacific Gem provides a subtle "blackberry" flavor/taste, which is a popular characteristic for English bitters and stouts..

Old Crop Organic German Pellet Hops: 30% Off!

We have transitioned to the newer crop pellet hops since the arrival of our shipment, and actually had a small surplus of older German Saphir and Spalt Select pellet hops. All of our pellet hops have been cold stored in nitrogen flushed foil bags, and so the quality is nearly as high as the fresh batch we have just recived. While supplies last!!

German Spalt Select: The Spalt Select are one of the best organic hops we have found. Bred from Mittlefrueh and Spalt hops in the early 90's the aroma of Select hops is reminiscent of a fine Tettnanger or Hersbrucker noble hop. A hop suitable for bittering, flavor, and aroma, it is excellent in European ales and lagers, with a pleasant spicy flavor and strong aroma. A good substitute for Tettnanger, US Saaz, Hersbrucker.

German Saphir: A relatively unknown but up and coming new breed of hop that is starting to replace the Hallertaur Mittlefrueh variety which has become more and more susceptable to diasease and pests. Shares many of the Hallertaur Mittlefrueh characteristics and with a low alpha acid content is very well suited as an aroma hop for the finest European style lagers. The Saphir is a true jewel in the noble hop family and has a refined aroma and a mild flavor. This hop is distinguished by a sweet and clean citrus aroma that has a hint of tangerine.
