cheapest place for simcoe hops?

where is the cheapest place you found for simcoe hops including shipping? i need a pound or 2, i want to brew a big batch of LWPA and some amarillo/simcoe ipa coming up.

i know some sponsors here have them, but im not looking for great customer service or fast shipping times, etc. im just concentrated on cheapest shipped price.

I would say check out steeler77 in the vendor section, I believe they are 1.25/oz

+1 on the price...and you can consider the great customer service and fast shipping times as extras he throws in

I can't remember for sure- I think I got mine from Nikobrew for $12 a pound or so.

If you are willing to live dangerously, there's some simcoe on ebay for like $6-10/lb from 2009 stock. The two sellers I looked at have 100% and 99.2% feedbacks...I am cautiously considering.

do you have a link? i see some for 1cent and $1 buy it now, but the shipping is $20-25

It seems the particular one I found is gone. The same seller still has Cascade for 6/lb I believe, but it is like $9 shipping...on a side note.

holy crap.

The Chi Company (chicompany.com) has 11 pound packages for $185 with free shipping (16.82/pound). Perhaps someone would be interested in setting up a group buy. I was fortunate to buy a pound from a local brewery for $15. He told me that his cost was $12/pound.

I've been looking for good prices on simcoe too, but I'm only interested in whole, not pellets. Not really excited about freshops 1.75/ounce, especially considering I bout a couple pounds last year for about half that from hops direct. Hopefully they'll stock them again this year.

when does the 2010 harvest come in? I am assuming last summer/fall, but might as well ask.

Yeah, harvest typically becomes available around August or so.

yeah i think late august but it can take awhile for pellets

Niikobrew.com is currently selling Simcoe for $29.00/lb and flat $5 shipping charge. Too bad I was ready to place an order

I know its been said, but Steeler77 has them for 1.25/oz.. thats 20/lb. I just ordered a pound of simcoe and a pound of warrior from him.

That's too bad. I bought them a while ago (maybe a month or two?) when he had a big sale on hops by the pound. I should have bought more than one pound! I bought another variety, too, but I can't remember which one.

Although I have never brewed with Simcoe personally some of my favorite microbrews and friends home brews have been with this hops of choice.

My mouth waters every time I think about Weyerbackers Simcoe Double IPA. (Delicious)!

i've purchased from Steeler77 twice now. one shipment of a pound of simcoe, then another shipment of 1 lb simcoe, 1lb citra, and 1lb columbus, all pellet.

i was very satisfied with my orders. price, shipping time, packaging, and quality were all exceptional.

I say one of us should go to chicompany.com and get an 11# box. Either that, or I will call up hopunion and see what they will do an 11# box of simcoe for. After I find out the lowest price, I will bump the thread and post something in the classifieds. If I am the one making the purchase, I will be using food saver bags. Problem with that?
