When we ordered our pallets, i asked Robin about the European crops. Rumor has it they didnt go so well. What she said was that they are contracted out so they will get their supply. The English varieties are uneffected while the German varieties are. She said the protien levels will be lower so keep this in mind when ordering next time. If you go German, your eff. will be lower so you will need to use more grain......so the story goes.....Thought you should know.......Cheers....

Forget her name - Elizabeth - Hops Direct told me the German Hops crop wasn't up to par and they wouldn't be distributing them or at least on a limited basis. Got some from Freshhops so we'll see. Maybe everything sucked due to growing conditions over there this year.
