actually citra has a ton of production, but its a mainstay hop and there's quite a bit siphoned off of the main pellet/cone channel for other stuff like extracts, cryo/lupomax, solubles, etc. but mostly its an in demand hop. (ever notice that cryo/lupomax prices dont really change at all? weird....)
for the most part, this year is gonna see a TON of hop discounts. everybody is oversold. galaxy for $20/lb? its coming. and newest crop too. mosaic. bru. strata. even the aus/nz stuff. what's gonna be "expensive" ? the whole "thiol" precursor and "mash hop" crew is gonna have some stiff pricing. tett is in the teens...??!!?! cascade? these are no longer gonna be "cheap" like they were before. not $20/lb, but compared to years past they're not cheap like they used to be...
also- just because you dont see a crop year doesnt mean its old. but it also isnt telling you its the newest crop. most folks are now noting the year, but not everyone has caught up. its not proof in and of itself. but its a question mark.
