Anyone receive their makingbeerisfun orders? I'm just anxious, I'm sure it's on it's way.
nope. got an order confirmation e-mail, that's it. i've just written back asking when they'll ship my hops. i'll let you know if/when they reply.
according to http://makingbeerisfun.com/free_shipping.htm, "In-stock items generally ship the same day; delivery in 2 to 7 business days depending on zone." they are located in NJ so my order shouldn't take long to get to me once they ship it.

I ordered a pound of Simcoe from them Friday after seeing them mentioned in this thread. Opened up the mail box today and they were there! Shipped from Jersey to Kentucky in one "business day" by USPS. Ill order from them again!.

great news for you! kinda disappointing news for me, since i ordered on wednesday of last week (5 days ago), i live closer to NJ than you do, but i haven't received my hops yet.
if you only got one pound, i guess it means you paid for shipping... which might be the difference. i got free shipping, which might mean that they send it via sloth-n-snail.
I ordered on Tuesday morning (2 pounds of Citra) and haven't gotten it yet either (just outside of Philly so not that far for me either.) I'm thinking those may have been Cirtra pre-orders (even though it didn't say) and they are waiting to get them in. I'm still sitting with my fingers crossed that it comes through though.

Yup...order was just a pound of simcoe...and I paid shipping. The citra orders sound like pre-orders to me.
Im still waiting on my amarillo from label peelers.

Which one? All the prices are on the website. I don't think we have any Amarillo or simcoe whole leaf in pounders. But we definitely have Amarillo pellets in pounders.
I just got a shipping notification last night so I believe my citra is on the way! :rockin:
Mine said the same. I think most vendors don't enter the correct weight when they enter it into the UPS system - they just let UPS weigh it and make the correction after the fact.
I ordered last Wednesday and haven't received confirmation yet. I really hope I get them before the weekend, I have a citrus hop burst planned for Friday, I may have to change out to a cream ale if they don't arrive. I live in NJ so USPS is 1 day here usually.
I ordered a lb each of citra and Amarillo

in which case they're definitely not listed on your site. i just did a search for amarillo and only ounces were shown. your prices are relatively high, unfortunately.
btw forum rules state that you can't advertize without paying for a vendor membership.

Yep same here, says 1 lb.
In my store we try to get the weight close, but UPS will check and correct it. Some places don't bother at all.
Mine are due to be here today, If they make it I'll post if I got my whole order( Citra and Amarillo)
I got an email yesterday morning about my makingbeerisfun order. They ran out of amarillo and offered to substitute other hops for it and give me a 10% discount. I opted for a refund of the amarillo price and just cross my fingers that my citra arrives. I do need more cascade but i didnt think their price was all that great TBH.
I probably won't buy from them again, mostly because they didn't ship my order or send me an email saying when it would ship, etc. No way to grab order status, and when I emailed them the email bounced. I'll stick with my LHBS and the bigger websites.

Are Amarillo or Citra expected to show up at some of the big mail order companies? I'm still trying to get my hands on a pound of each.
I just bought 8 oz of 2012 Citra pellets from Farmhouse...you can buy up to a pound (four 4 oz bags)...I think this just went live today b/c I was looking last night and they didn't have the option to order that is there now...
They also have 2012 Centennial and Simcoe, but oddly, the Cascade and Chinook are listed as 2011 crop...

From Grain To Glass (www.graintoglasshomebrew.com) has Citra, Amarillo, and Simco in stock at pretty reasonable prices right now. I just ordered some.

Amarillo is $10 for 4oz
$2.50 an ounce didn't seem too bad a price to me, especially since this year they seem harder and harder to find.
Citra and Amarillo are out of stock in 4pz packs now as well on farmhouse..
Damn, that was fast...like I said, the order option was not there the night before, then I ordered, and apparently gone again in less than 24 hrs! I'm not usually that lucky!
My two pounds of citra pellets from makingbeerisfun arrived on Wednesday so I'm a happy camper now!

Amarillo at a good price, dont see the end flavor suffering being it's in "dust" form?

i cant imagine it would...pellets turn right into dust from pellets anyway. I ordered a LB.

Just ordered a pound of Amarillo shake and a couple random hops. I'm sure my recipes will be difficult to duplicate without a similar purchase from Yakima next year...

Also just ordered a pound of Citra and Galaxy to take advantage of the FRIMON promo from label peelers.
So right now the best option is to get the LB of the Amarillo dust? Or will some places restock on that and Citra?
farmhousebrewingsupply.com claims that they will be receiving more citra, so you can keep checking there.

Citra will come and go throughout the year.. Hop Union hasn't even released their stuff yet.
My LHBS still has a couple of pounds of whole leaf Citra from last year in the freezer.. And it's a pretty busy small time store.

I already got a couple pounds of Hop Union Citra from two different suppliers. I'm still waiting on a pound from Labelpeelers who keeps saying they're a mile from the Hop Union facility and pick up 5 days a week, but still nothing.

HopUnion said they hoped to have it all processed by the end of December as far as I last heard.
They have a fair bulk of it, so my point was.. there's still some out there, while high in demand, it's not near as short in supply.
Amarillo however, is in short supply, no matter the demand. They suffered flood damage apparently. It's one of my favorite hops. I'll take it over Citra any day!
Why "over"? I use both - sometimes in the same batch. Vive la différence!
If this whole Amarillo thing keeps amping up I think sometime around May I might eBay off some of my Amarillo stash to fatten up my retirement accounts
Cheers!

I agree. I love both, and am fortunate enough to have both on hand, and at my LHBS with no limitations just about.
But if I HAD to choose one hop to have for the year.. Amarillo is probably the more rounded out one for me to choose!
