So, I took the plunge and ordered hops from Hops Direct. It took 48 hours to ship the order, and 5 business days to ship to Austin, TX. I got a pound each of Amarillo, Fuggles, Centennial, Cascade, Magnum, and Northern Brewer. The pound of Fuggles is 15.9 ounces, but all of the other bags are at least 18 ounces (Magnum was 19!). With that in mind, This would cost $324 if I were to buy hops as I needed them for each recipe and $180 to buy 1lb packs from the LHBS. I paid $77 plus 3 rolls of foodsaver bags...$110 total.
As you can tell, the Cascade and Fuggles were not vacuum packed. I took this opportunity to play with the new food saver and make 28g packets of Cascade. I promptly ran out of bags.
I can't wait to brew again!
