So when do 2012 hops start hitting the market? Need to know when to start looking for those hard to get hops and stock up for next years brewing.

Some are out now, online - just got some Centennial and Amarillo.
Freshops has 2012 AmarilloWhere did you get them from? I am in need of Amarillo and want to get some from the 2012 harvest.
How do you know if you're buying this years or last yeas hops?
Say from Rebel Brewer?
I just ordered some 2012 magnum, amarillo, and northern brewer hops from freshops.com (the whole hops).
I'm sure the pellet hops will be available in a few weeks. Hopsdirect has a few 2012 varieties in leaf form as well.
I was thinking of doing the same thing... Getting some magnum, amarillo and some cascade whole leaf.. Use some magnum for bittering most of my pales and ipas, and whatnot. Less mess in the kettle too!
This years whole cone magnum is at 15.5% AAUs, according to freshops.com. That means you won't need much when you use it for bittering!
