UGH!
We've discussed this quite a bit around here. We got the heads up on the hop prices from Forrest who's with Austin Homebrew.

You can thank our idiot bastard fu*kstick evil government for the rise in grain prices. Oh, hey, just what we need: subsidies for a bullsh*t energy source that isn't feasible as even a partial replacement for fossil fuels.

If grain price increases piss you off, vote accordingly.

Anyway, this is why I'm stocking up. I've got about 9 lbs of hops in my freezer, and 55lbs of Maris Otter and 55lbs of Munich on the way. Gotta get while the gettin's good. I urge you to do the same. If you're still using a lot of extract...not sure what to tell you other than buy a bunch of DME and vacuum-seal and freeze it.

I stocked up on hops, but have not yet done so with grain. Grain in bulk or kegging setup? It's quite a conundrum I'm faced with.

Elect me President of these here UNited States of America and I promise to get the price of brewing ingredients down AND legalize home distillation. I won't do much else, but at least I will be honest about it.

Brewpastor for President - vote early, vote often, vote for me...

Your best bet is probably still hopsdirect.com.
