How much for just the opener? One of the best stocking stuffers I've seen!

Sorry, but I just got in on a bulk grain buy, and the Hops Direct thing, you know, the SWMBO woudn't be happy buying me a kit.

How about 24.99 off the IPA kit?

Seriously though that is a decent price for that big of a recipe. 17 fricken ounces of hops

How's you're international shipping?

Not as good as the Pliny the Elder clone a month or two back. I think it was like $52. Sippin' on some now.

Nice to see the Tuesday specials back Forest. I have my Pliny in bottles as of this last weekend from your last hop bomb special

Is it really?

$77 for a recipe w/o yeast? Yes, I know there is a over a pound of hops in there.. but let me add this up...

I don't know what the base grains are, but based on AHS's prices they range from $1.35-$2/lb So anywhere between $22 (for plain 2row) to $33 (for Golden Promise)

+ $2 for the 1lb of specialty grains

$77 - $24 = $53 / 17 ounces of hops = $3.12 an ounce for the hops
$77 - $33 = $44 / 17 ounces of hops = $2.59 an ounce for the hops

AHS regular price for hops is $2.99 an ounce. (which comes to $50.83 for 17 ounces).

---
Ok, so let's say I get this same recipe from my rapist of a LHBS store...
Sack of 2Row 50lbs is $42 = 84cents/lb = $13.86
Sack of MO 50lbs is $64 = $1.28/lb = $21.12
1lb of specialty grains = $2.25
17 ounces of hops * $2.75/oz = $46.75

So that will cost me, plus yeast $62.86 - 70.12
Plus $4.90 tax I'm still cheaper.
---
If I use the hops that I got from HopsDirect, which averaged me 70 cents an ounce it would come to $11.90 for the hops, so I could do this recipe for $28 to $35.27, plus the cost of yeast. With 2 new vials for $14 (AHS recommends pitching 2 vials for this recipe), I'm still only at $49.27

Sorry, this isn't a deal.

Sorry, this isn't a deal.

It is to those who don't/can't buy grain and hops in bulk.
