NJstout said:citra was sold out when i ordered.
I got amarillo, columbus, willamette, nugget.... i was going to get apollo also but it was only whole leaf on sale.
I found out about the sale from this thread, but how did you find out about the sale so i can keep an eye out in the future? thanks
bummer - how do you get on the mailing list? can't find it.
i take it they are shutting down their operations for the summer? certainly looks like they were trying to sell off their stock. everything that was sold out has the mention "SOLD OUT UNTIL FALL 2012" which further indicates a summer shut-down...
found out about it just by being on the hopsdirect mailing list. A few months ago it mentioned something about a sale on this date, so i put it in my calendar. after i finished ordering my hops this morning, figured i'd let y'all know.
NochEineMassBitte said:You could probably e-mail them. Or better yet, just order some hops, and then you'll be on it.
H-ost said:A few hours after I ordered yesterday it hit me... I ordered 3 POUNDS of hops! Might not be much to some of you but for me that sounds like a lot to have on hand when I have never used more than 4-5 ounces in a batch... (my grin is really that big)
I got Fedex confirmation today, an estimated delivery date of this Thursday.
Edit: Wow what a crappy 2000th post
sweetcell said:cool - do you remember what time of day you placed your order? (check your confirmation e-mail's timestamp if you've forgotten...)
i'm assuming they're fulfilling orders as they were placed, first-come first served. i didn't place my order until 5 pm Eastern so i expect to be at the back of the queue.
Ok so I love hops direct but it makes me question why the he'll does everyone else charge so much for hops? I can get several lbs of hops for what a pound or less would cost at most places an they will work out reasonable shipping for you. What's so hard about that!?

You gotta love the power of buying in bulk quantity. You really cant do it much in daily goods as it seems like you used to. Even costco and sams club seem to be more expensive than the grocery store for alotta stuff recently.
gotz me some Columbus, Legacy, Millenium, and Glacier. i don't need that many additional hops in my freezer but i'm a sucker for such good a deal. thanks hops direct!
millenium = first time i'll be brewing with leaves and not pellets
...I get it soon, really wanted to try dry hopping with legacy
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.
TyTanium said:+1 Very excited for that one. Thinking of dry hopping an imperial porter with it...hmmm.
