Intervention needed
Brothers and sisters of the Borg, I need your help. The 2015 crop of hops is about to be let loose upon the world and as most of you know, that is a big problem for me. I've still got about 8 lbs of hops in the freezer and should not buy more.
But besides the fact that 2015 hops will be out soon, there's still great deals for 2014 hops. I need the 'laying of hands' upon me that I not fall for this, nor open thoust wallet and buy more hops that I need or have space for or that palates cannot stand. What happens next I can't be responsible for and that's making more hoppy beers. Isn't the world tired of IPA's yet? Surely the fire inside me will subside.
I appreciate your cooperation, prayers and thoughts and if you would like to donate to a good cause, I can send you my Paypal info to help a hop-fiend out.

I think the guys at Farmhouse Brewing know me now. I'm pretty sure they'll roll out the red carpet for me if I ever got up to see them.
The bad news is that I see some price increases, not only for the few 2015's coming in but for the popular 2014's as well. Maybe that will slow me down. I'm just going to brew a number of similar beers in a row using lots of hoppage and since my pals are moving back home in December, they'll surely help me drink it all.
Can I get an AMEN?

You could always make hop brownies. And smoothies. And ice cream.

Re: Intervention needed
I am going to Wisconsin Friday and will be driving right by them. Put your order in and I will pick them up for you. And yes they do know you, he recognized your name immediately when I was there in the Spring.

As his CLOSEST relative, I feel it is my responsibility to take the craving from him and to do so, I will need to confiscate the stash.
I promise not to get you guys involved unless I run out.

Re: Intervention needed
Seriously? My name? How did you come to mention my name unless he's been here. I'm just curious how the conversation came to include me though I have called him once, long ago when my order was lost.Dawg LB Steve wrote:I am going to Wisconsin Friday and will be driving right by them.

No orders for now but thanks for NOT trying to help me with my hop-diction!

Re: Intervention needed
I'm sure thru the internet orders, they fill them personally from the store. I spent about an hour there in the spring waiting for gman20. Was talking with the owner said one of the guys from the Borg was a customer of his, he asked who. He said "I know that name".

Re: Intervention needed
There is a meeting being held tonight, Paul. Perhaps you should come with me?
Re: Intervention needed
I'd be there if I could wearing a hop leaf in place of a fig leaf. In fact, I'm going to take an exact, hop inventory right now to keep my mind off of it.
EDIT: I have made progress. I have 13 lbs of hops a few months ago and now only have about 8 total so look how far I've gone. Maybe I should treat myself with some new stock, right?

Re: Intervention needed
There should be an APP for this. Come on tech minded Borgies something simple like a siren goes off or the key pads get to hot when he tries to buy more hops. Help a brother out.
