Nikobrew is the best I could find. It is twice the rate of Hopsdirect's hops, but they don't grow them so I guess there is no reason to compare their prices. Nikobrew is a vendor on here, maybe they have a deal for HBT folks?

Northern Brewer has them for $1.90/oz.

Coupon Code HBTDEAL7 gets you 7% off.

Here is another source http://www.hopstoyou.com/pellets.html They sell by the 1/4 lb
Might be good for future reference, but that Northern Brewer and Niko price beats it, and looks pretty decent right now.

Simcoe are proprietary, as I understand it, so not as generally available as other hops. As such, they do seem to cost more. I did find a guy on ebay who was selling some cheap, but I ended up going with Niko. You know you'll get good hops from him.

+1 for Niko, he is a great guy

Couldnt you just get a cat to pee in your wort? LOL! Wow Simcoe has a distinctive aroma/flavor!

Yeah, but it's not "cat pee". Most of us think "pine" when we think Simcoe.

Yall must have some funny smelling pine trees in NY! LOL!

that's because the cat's all pee on them...

I bought my leaf from Freshops and pellets from Nikobrew. I use the fresh whole leaf for dry hopping, it's amazing.

Yeah, Simcoe hops are very piney to me. I have a buddy that hates them because they taste and smell like cat litter to him. I don't get it.

Like someone else posted before, check ebay. I bought a pound there for less than $20. Best price I could find anywhere.
