Pulling the plug on buying any hops from my LHBS..I am dialing in some house recipes and I am just not getting the consistency on hop profile..everything else is dead on with the beers batch to batch with exception to the hop profiles in the beers.
Just ordered about $200 of hops from Yakima as their hops just scream fresh when you open the package as well as in the final product and when I compare those beers with beers that have hops from the LHBS its night and day difference on aroma and taste.
Hate to do it as I love supporting the LHBS, but I just think the guy has gone on the cheap and I really believe he is buying 2-3 year old hops and reselling them as fresh...sad..
