UPDATE - We are out of 2oz pack grab bags and now have FULL SINGLE pounds available of 2010 crop hops. These are varieties that we either don't sell any more or that we have the 2011 crop of in stock. The price is $10/lb and they're going quick!

Good afternoon fellow homebrewers!
Over the past 3 and a half years between equipment changes and warehouse moves we have a pile of hops that for whatever reason never made it into inventory. Most of these have been stored frozen though at times some may have not been for about a week. Many of the bags have handwritten info on them (my wife used to use a sharpie to write the variety and alpha acid content on each and every pack and the ones I wrote myself look quite ugly lol) from before we started printed labels for them. Some of their seals have come apart enough that the hops move around in the bag but no hops fall out for most of them too. As long as they don't smell like cheese you can use then but I would assume a little bit of alpha loss. There are a bunch of calculators online for figuring out how much has been lost but it's impossible to be certain as there are so many factors involved.
That being said Grab Bags consist of 8 2oz packs of assorted old hops (2009 and 2010 crop). They will literally be in one huge bag that Warehouse Enforcer Scott will pull from until they are gone. When we are out of 2oz packs we will move to full pounds (there aren't nearly as many of these).
Grab Bags - $6 while supplies last
