On Friday I opened up one of the hop packs from a grab bag I got at the homebrew club Christmas party. It smelled like vomit. After I subbed out some good hops I opened up the other 20 packs and all but four of them had the same smell. The four had no smell at all, good or bad. I tossed the lot into the trash.
I'm not all that upset about it as they were free, but I won't ever buy anything from a hop supplier who thinks it's a good idea to give away s***e to someone who might be a paying customer some day.
