Galaxy hops out of stock?

[MapleGroveAleworks]

Hi all, looking for 2016 Galaxy hops and they seem to be out of stock most places. I'd like to buy a pound or at least a half pound. Some sites like Northern Brewer have them by the ounce but that's way too expensive per ounce for me. Any tips I'd appreciate thanks!

Substitute Mosaic?

The harvest for 2017 should be happening very soon down under so if you can wait I'll be more will become available very soon

Well, Galaxy is from Down Under, so their 2017 harvest should be in progress around this time. I'm kinda waiting for them myself. I expect they'll sell out as fast as they arrive, except at the overpriced and "per ounce" places. $3.25 an ounce? They must be kidding...

According to Brulosophy many in his circuit of tasters found them similar. Of those who could discern, most preferred Mosaic over Galaxy.

Thanks. I forgot that their 2017 will be coming out soon. Galaxy is my favorite hop so I am looking forward to them being back in stock. I'm fine with their inflated price of $30/lb that I see sometimes, but I refuse to pay those per ounce prices no thanks.

... tasters in this xBmt were not able to reliably distinguish a Galaxy single-hop beer from a similar beer hopped only with Mosaic.

The harvest was about a month ago - they should be available very soon.

Same thing happened to me last year, so this year I bought a pound first chance I could

Vic Secret is pretty similar to Galaxy. Not as pungent with added floral.

That's neat. Don't care though, I would like to buy galaxy when they come out thanks.

edit: I wasn't asking for substitutions for galaxy. I just wanted to know if people knew when they'd be back in stock. Thanks.

If you don't want to wait, NB has 8 oz bags for $20 in stock. That's not that crazy as most places are charging $30 a pound (or more), when in stock.

8oz at $20 = $40/lb
That's a bit more than $30/lb

I said not crazy... not equal.

Show me a link where you can buy them right now for cheaper.

Must be my mistake, I read it as saying the $20/8oz was a better deal considering how much pounds were being sold for
Guess I needed more coffeeipe:

What about using Mosaic instead? They're pretty similar

Gotcha, I probably didn't need to get so aggressive in my response anyways.
