Metric is so much easier to work with, I wish it was used here more often.

I just figured you said 28 grams because that's what your scale reads. Due to past business practices I immediately recognized this as being an ounce.

It is the rough equivalent of a US ounce. However, it is a more precise measurement because my scale will read to the nearest 1/8 ounce or 1 gram. My recipes all have hops in grams to account for differences in scaling or process or AA levels, so I usually open a bag or two and then reseal what is left. I usually use one or two ounces of hops when I dry hop though, so it is convenient to just open one or two bags and dump them in.

Make sense?

Awesome. Glad to know what the rough costs would be for an Austin shipment.

I keep my bulk hops in the original bag. After I open it, I just put the whole silver bag into a large vacuum sealed bag. When I need more, I just open it, measure the amount, and reseal. They take up less freezer space that way.

I put mine in a large food saver bag. Then just cut, measure out hops, then re-seal. I can't see wasting 16 bags on a pound of hops.

As far as pellet hops go, 1 Lb = 1 Quart. Mason jars FTW
