Hops in bulk? (Canada)

Does anyone have any place in Canada to buy hop pellets by the lb?

Where are you located?

I think it may actually be more cost effective to puchase from Adventures in Homebrewing in the United States.
By the way, they have hops rhizomes for pre-order on sale now, so you can grow your own hops.

St Catharines on

Check for a local homebrew club, sometimes they do group buys and you can get a better price, plus save on shipping.

These guys will do it:

I've never used them. They are out of Calgary.

We usually order a big order from Northern Brewer or Yakima Valley hops in the states with the RCMB club in Winnipeg and then someone makes a run to the border.

Customs is going to have a field day with that shipment...

Join up with the HOZERS. ( http://www.hozer.ca/ ) Jason Stranak is the contact. Currently we are working on a grain group buy. Outside of that, contact Bo from Beer and Wine Filter. He is the Canadian Distributor for Hops Direct. He works out of Etobicoke.

They're in Brampton, Ontario, and they do sell one pound bags of pellets.

Thanks for all the input. I compared prices and it's cheaper for me to buy by the oz at my LHBS. I thought it would be different, but no

Can't beat OBK for prices and shipping.They sell hops by the # to and they are in Ontario.

Bloomfield Hops Farm sells hops by the pound

wouldn't Yakima Valley Hops ship to canada?

Yes, but the shipping was more than the price of the hops.

I heard some sketchy stuff as well. Based selection, prices, and proximity, took the plunge and put in a group order with some brewing friends. Filling the order wasn't as fast as some other places (cf. Bredenhof Farms), but the order did come within about 1.5 weeks (even though I'm pretty close). Good selection of hops. Would recommend.

Was the quality of hops and packaging good?

The prices seem almost too good to be true compared to other sellers

Packaging was good - sealed mylar (?) that is claimed to be nitrogen flushed, the same packaging I have received hops in before from many places. I haven't used them yet so I can't testify to their quality.

Just received my order today, 6lbs of various hops. A couple of the packages were not sealed anymore, but i'll vacuum pack em up (ordered on Friday).

To be clear, the the packages are supposed to be nitrogen flushed, not vacuum sealed. Did you actually get packages that were open?

Hmmm, actually, just went and checked my recently bought but unopened packages from Northwest Hop Farms. Indeed, they are supposed to be nitrogen flushed and vacuum sealed. Like the experience of @barneyfife , some of mine were still vacuum sealed, but a couple had lost the seal. So, not perfect packaging.
