I'm sure others are posting about this, too, but Hopsdirect is having a crazy "Yard Sale" today. Some of the prices:

1lb Amarillo: $16.50
1lb Citra: $15.50
1lb Columbus: $6
1lb Glacier: $6
1lb Nugget: $7
1lb Willamette: $7

Lots more, most for under $10 a lb. All 2011 Crop.

Good time to stock up. I'm sure they'll sell out fast, so get on it!
 
Picked up a few #. I've been out of a few of those varieties.

Thanks Palefire. :mug:
 
Thanks! Order placed!

EDIT: What have I done. Did I really just buy that many pound of hops? So easy just to add a few more pounds at those prices.
 
I just bought a bunch too! For those prices crazy not to hold on to it and find a way to brew it :)
 
Ughhh my wife is going to KILL me, but I couldnt pass up these prices. Got a lb each of Nugget, Sterling, and Amarillo.

Something tells me we might be deep freezer shopping this weekend....
 
Thanks for the heads up. I just ordered the buy one get one free Goldings and Amarillo.
 
Just saw this too. Picked up a lb of Amarillo, Citra, Centennial, and Columbus.

I had the exact same order except no Centennial since I still have some from my last order. $38 for 3 pounds plus some shipping is too hard to pass up. I had to hold back on throwing a couple $6-8 varieties in my cart just because they were so cheap. :mug:
 
Cool, thanks! I can't say no to a sale, freezer will be full.
 
WIN!!!!!!!! Just bought citra, amarillo, centennial and columbus! With shipping it averaged out to a dollar/ounce. I better clean some ball jars and get the vacuum pump ready!

A little off topic, but how do you like storing in Ball jars? I found it very inefficient in that I couldnt get a whole lot of weight into the jars, so they took up much more room in the freezer than using foodsaver bags.
 
Told my self I was stocked up for the rest of the year, then I see this. I could not stop myself 1lb each of Super Galena,Admiral, Citra, Glacier, Nugget, and Legacy. I'm sure I will find something to do with them. Now I can create some stupidily hopped beer, Yum.
 
Missed out on Citra, but I got centennial, Golding, Columbus, magnum, perle and Willamette.
 
I totally did not need to buy 5lbs of hops but but but it was only $40.

Anybody else want to have a contest of how many hops you can fit into a 5gal batch?
 
Thanks for reminding me this was happening. I saw a post on it a while back, but forgot. I just stocked up on a bunch of stuff, many I had never used before. Some were so cheap that it was impossible to pass on trying them. :mug:
 
Woo thanks for this heads up! Time to find out how much it is to ship a few pounds to Canada eh!
 
Pound of Amarillo and Centennial...also picked up a pound of Glacier on a whim, might make some sort of single-hop light pale ale out of it? Maybe a SMaSH? Never had a beer with it before, could be fun.

Good timing, the most recent Basic Brewing podcast tells of a guy who put 2 pounds into a 5 gallon batch at 5 min. I think I'm going to try it.
 
i've been wanting to do a continuous 60 minute addition for a DIPA so i'm all set now... thinking of ordering more, but i don't need any more hops... just picked up a pound of simcoe last week... i'm over-hopped!
 
I just grabbed 3 lbs of a few pellet varieties... how long can I keep them in the freezer (i don't have a vacuum sealer)?
 
Bah. Thought about it for an hour and bought German Magnum, Czech Saaz, US Fuggle, US Tettnanger , & US Hallertau. Prices were too good to pass up. Any idea on shipping for 5#, the cart said TBD.....

Hah! GMTA. I got a # of Amarillo and a # of Glacier. I've used Glacier a lot as a sub for any delicate earthy/spicy hop w/ medium AA levels, especially in British pale ales. Hard to believe it was only $6/#!!!

Thanks to the OP... I love this sort of thing! :)

I'd really suggest getting one. A ghetto way is to use ziplock bags and manually suck out the air while closing it. Not exactly a vacuum seal but it gets most of the air out. The oils will degrade over time -- you'll have to use more of the hop to offset the degradation.

I use ProMash to calculate hop degradation over time -- dunno if there are any free ones.

When I buy bulk hops, I use a FoodSaver to portion them up into 2oz bags -- works great and should last several years.
 
I got 4 lbs shipped "ground delivery" to Dallas for ~$15. 5 lbs shouldn't be much more. I'm sure "ground delivery" is just USPS Parcel Post as UPS Ground and Fedex we're more expensive.
