Essentially the same price then, what's city grocery tax 8.75%.
If I could find it here in Indiana its 0%

I know it's essentially the same. I think groceries are taxed much lower but at least I know where to find it in a pinch at a good price
forstmeister said:
Yes and much appreciated, thank you.
I thought you meant the pricing was a hose job

No hose job. $.25 an oz is good no matter where it's from. I just wouldn't want to buy a pound of coriander ever. I used an oz in a wit this summer and it was strong. I hate wits and ended up dumping half a keg when it didn't go at the annual BBQ
I was just interested in splitting the sweet and bitter orange peel. I would take half a pound of each, but could probably take a pound of bitter orange peel just to facilitate the buy if needed.
I don't need coriander. I grow my own and have more than I could use.

I know but I am never short on beer. I have friends who brew professionally and my cousin manages one of the bigger distros in town. Home brewing keeps me floating normally but friends and family keep me in excess at times

Or when you go to a party where everyone brings their own. Inevitably, there's always one guy who brings bud light but drinks everyone else's good beer.

Ya I hate "that" guy! Because then the bud light just sits there and anyone else that sees it thinks "I didn't know this was a bud light kind of party" which kills the whole vibe!

I will email everyone with my paypal info when the time comes to start paying. The amount owed will be on the spreadsheet, not the database.

Still waiting on the quote.
Folks there is a lot of behind the scenes activity on the hops supply side of the buy. Bill and I have both gotten some responses, some pricing, good but not great. Aside from the saaz, NS, PJade, cascade, magnum, northern brewer what other bulk hops are folks.interested in.. I received some decent pricing on 11 and 13 lb mini bales of a few varieties....please give us some feedback to some other varieties.

Let's try to get a list completed so that we can get back to the hops supplier with an answer on Monday. If anyone wants to keep a running tab on a google spreadsheet please feel free. Prices for T90 pellets are not too bad at all; slightly more than Country Malt. However, this one particular supplier mainly offers American varieties since they represent only American farms. They are out of Cascade and Chinook.

Simcoe and Amarillo. I'd also be interested in non-American varieties like Styrian Goldings, and anything English, especially EKG. I'd take a lb of each, depending on prices.
But it would also depend on when we expected them to arrive and the pick up point, because I'm have to persuade a friend to drive me or get the CTA.

I'd do up to 4 lb of centennial to make a deal go. Use that in my RIPA with simcoe.
Mt Hood, fuggles, and whatever someone else wants I'll do a lb or 2.

Pellets are good but man does a counter full of fresh leaf make me giddy.

I regularly use Centennial, Willamette, Saaz, Perle, and Tettnanger.
Given that list, I think we'd be best off trying to time a group buy with the arrival of the 2012 harvest coming to market. That would give us the best shot in terms of interest and getting a decent price on hops that sell at a per-ounce premium.
As a hold-me-over FYI, I was able to get NS, Galaxy, and Simcoe from Farmhouse Supply this week while most everywhere else is out.
My chest freezer just can't handle 25 pounds of leaf hops. The current 25 pounds of pellets are no problem, though.
starman said:
Yes, my kitchen and house for that matter smells like Amarillo hops...sorry little hop friends about the freezing home for which I had to place you.
I prefer leaf, easier to clean up in my kettle (yes hopstoppers do get clogged), less sediment and particulates in my beer, and the rogue seed from time to time.
Matt, I'll send you some notes on how I pseudo winter the seeds prior to starting germination.
OK this one vendors response to availability and pricing to our original order. It looks like more of retail pricing and I am certain we can get some more competitive pricing in the qty with some persistence.
I was told these are in stock, and pricing is based on our 11 lb ea. qty.
This is just for discussion, please no panicking, no orders or fulfillment.
Saaz 10.99/lb
Pacific Jade 17.50/lb
Cascade 10.49/lb
Northern Brewer 10.99/lb
Magnum 12.00/lb
5-lb of Nelson 20.99/lb
Mini bales of EKG, Mt.Hood, Chinook, Fuggle
All 13 lb except EKG 11lb
Fuggle 11.00/lb,
EKG 11.50/lb,
Mt. Hood 8.50/lb
