These will be the only hops you can use in round 2, but you can brew any style. All brewers from that flight will be selecting at the same time. Haggling with other brewers in your flight is allowed and encouraged.
Flight winners from Round 1 (Denny and Chris M) will choose their flight assignments and hops first.
