So I'm looking into buying a few lbs of hops this fall when the new crops are available. I just got into brewing and really haven't brewed enough to figure out what hops I like and what I don't. That being said I plan on brewing a lot of APA and IPA's and would like to have 5-6 variates of hops in my freezer. I've been looking threw recipes and was looking for feed back of what type of hops you guy/gals keep in your freezers? It's looking like i'll buy Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Magnum, and Columbus in bulk(1lb bags). would you add or remove anything? another question, does hops shortages change from year to year or is there always a variety that seems to "dry up"?
