Crazy Hopsdirect Sale Today

[jww9618]

I just bought a $20 Foodsaver Handheld and a wide mouth jar attachment ($10) and plan on storing the hops in mason jars. I've read that people have good results storing hops this way.

I just grabbed 3 lbs of a few pellet varieties... how long can I keep them in the freezer (i don't have a vacuum sealer)?

Amarillo, Centennial, Columbus, Nugget and Magnum. Only ever used Amarillo so I hope I don't get stuck with 4# rabbit food.

 

[voltin]

Picked up 1 each of Centennial and Amarillo. Figure with how scarce Centennial is/will be better get it while it is good.

 

[ReverseApacheMaster]

That's a tremendous deal.

Thank Rhamilton and JWW

20$ for a foodsaver? I always pictured them to be way more expensive. I'm sure I will have one soon thanks!

 

[Gear101]

Just got 4 lbs of hops.. too good to pass

 

[mewithstewpid]

got a pound of amarillo

 

[cval]

i placed an order (6#) just moments ago, here's hoping they do ship to mexico. You can't get anywhere close to those prices around here

 

[patrickm]

Sweet! Picked up a couple pounds myself. Thanks for the heads up!

Right right here come the IPA's

 

[QuaffableQuips]

Just placed my order! I thought I was sufficiently stocked, judging from the looks of my freezer. Apparently I didn't realize until just now that I needed several more pounds...

 

[osagedr]

Sure didn't plan to buy 12 pounds of hops today...jebus.

I see alot of IIPAs in my immediate future.

 

[bengerman]

3# for me;
super galena, colombus, and apollo. all hops i've never brewed with. here's hoping i like them

the pound prices on all three were less than the 2oz price at my LHBS.

 

[permo]

i have 20 some odd pounds in my freezer already, couldn't help myself vanguard for $3.50 and Millenium for for $4.20 a pound? Really? I had to buy those just on principle alone.

Also, Glacier on the cheap too? Is this heaven?

 

[osagedr]

the pound prices on all three were less than the 2oz price at my LHBS.

Similar thing here. We pay anywhere from $4 to $6 for two ounces of pellets in non-vaccuum packed little baggies.

Another similar situation for me. I could not pass up a pound of hops for the price of 2 ounces...

 

[LandoLincoln]

Mylar ziplocks in a freezer work well for storing hops long term.

 

[Phunhog]

Just bought a pound each of Hallertau, Magnum, Amarillo, and Columbus. Between those and my homegrown Cascades and Centennials I will be set up pretty good!

 

[Higglesworth]

Missed out on the Citra...sad face.

Picked up a pound of Amarillo for less than 18 bucks...happy face!

 

[jtakacs]

thinking about going back for hallertau and a few more... ugh...

Sales over buddy. It ended at 4. Sorry

You can e-mail them -- just reply to your order confirmation. I asked for 1# Vanguard to be added and they replied within 10 minutes letting me know it had been added. They also mentioned it would take 2-3 days to ship since "We're getting slammed with orders right now."

 

[TimTrone]

I can't imagine that they made much of a profit. Sure they sold probably a ton of hops, but crazy cheap. I got a pound of citra, vanguard, and ultra for $30 WITH shipping. That's pretty much what a pound of citra is selling for currently, so in my mind I got 2 free pounds of hops. Damn right

 

[worksnorth]

Thanks for the heads up!!!!

[TimTrone]

Haha yup. Just realized that. Anyone get the ultra? Haven't used it before, but it sounds like a higher alpha version of mt hood

Only hops I would need more of before year end are gone.

 

[rhamilton]

I really really wanted the Ultra since it's AA% is jacked up this year. Should be great as a Belgian bittering hop. Crap it's only $6. Guess I'm emailing them again

 

[jakesz28]
