26lb hopsdirect order just arrived
|
|
26lbs of whole leaf hops were just delivered to the office.  They were supposed to show up on Friday, but UPS lost them in Sacramento. Anyway, they're here now and smell delicious.
TwoHeadsBrewing showing off his modeling skills:
As usual, HopsDirect is awesome. I'll need to get the packages home and on the scale, but I'm sure they followed the usual tradition of overpacking the bags. This time around the shipping was less than half as much as our previous order. 80 cents per ordered pound rocks! Time to brew up a huge IIIIIIIPA

Good God Man! Are you by chance brewing 20 gallon batches. That's quite a lot of hops. But I guess if you like that much hops. That would be 26 extra hoppy 5 gallon batches mmm hops

Haha, we all do 10 gallon batches. I think if you put a full pound in a 5 gallon batch nothing would come out when you opened the ball valve on the kettle, all the liquid would have been absorbed. Actually, the order was a split between 6 people. I picked up amarillo, tetts, cascade, and centennial.
I kept it small because I still have some willamette, n. brewer and perle from our last bulk order. One of the people picked up a pound of citra, so I'll have to steal some from them.
Edit for stats:
Average cost per oz (including shipping, excluding overpacked bags): 84 cents
Total order cost: $350

My portion of the order is:
1# Amarillo (Amarillo IPA comin' right up)
1# Cascade
1# Centennial
1# German Tettnanger
1/2# Chinook
1/2# German Magnum
1/2# US Norther Brewer
1/2# Nugget
Yeah, I have no idea where I'm going to put it all. But at $0.80/lb. it's too good to pass up. This will set me up for all year of brewing, and then some. Now I just have to wait for our bulk grain order to come in...

Jaybird on this forum has a homebrew shop about 1.5 hour drive from where we live. He's been kind enough in the past to organize group buys along with his orders. But this time we're orderin with a brewer down in Oroville, which is just 25 minutes away. Western Pacific Brewing Company is a fairly new brewery, and the head brewer has been kind enough to let us piggyback on his order. Prices are just about the same, but the time to drive and the gas to get there is less. Grain should be in early this week!
