To the best of my understanding, if the hops are already dried (as in leaf or pellet) you should have little to no issue, considering there's just the smallest ammount of water in them, so they don't actually "freeze". If anything, they do detiorate without cold but is nothing that can't be...

Thanks for the quick replies. Secondary is a must as I was hoping to dry hop it (all amarillo APA, 1.054OG) for 5 days, I'm just kinda sad that I won't be able to fully taste the amarillo for some time. I was hoping there was something else besides time in order to fix it :(

Seems to be completely done in less than 20hrs, though i didn't take a SG reading. I added yeast at around 9pm last night and today is not bubbling anymore. There's definitely alcohol in the smell and a ton of amarillo hops. I took it back to 68°C as quickly as I could but the damage seems to...

that's incredible! definitely gonna try it, thanks a lot RCCOLA!

how well does it clear? i once used corn masa (what tortillas are made with) for a cream ale and it was a bit cloudy. I would love to try it again but this time using the corn starch

nothing to contribute other than stating i freaking love citrusy hops. I have 8oz from last year's amarillo but they might me going stale, i'm anxiously waiting for some citra because that tangerine smell is just delicious. If i could dry hop all beers with a mixture of cascade, centennial...

What's the target email address? I'll email'em every day in hopes they get nation wide distribution in mexico

had it last night down here in Mexico. My local bar tender/business owner went to CA in order to take care of some business over there and took it from there all the way to SD. He was kind enough to share one with the co-owner, their best client & me (probably 6th or so best client, it helps to...

holy thread resurrection! but yeah, i figured i'd tell my tell if by any chance anyone not from the USA was wondering how did the shipping turn out. hats off to hops direct, they really went above their job in order to secure my order. They waited for quite a few days 'til paypal cleared my...

The aroma of perle + cascade was freaking awesome, i wanted to have some. It was a pretty dumb rookie mistake. Not that i'm a noob though the error in my ways definitely seems to tell another story. It was just my second time using cascade and fell in love with the aroma, i'll know better...

that's an excellent observation. This was my third time using safale us05 and twice i've encountered the problem of letting it sit too long in it. Then again, most likely the error is in my process

I used to do 3 weeks primary but i think i'm gonna switch back to 1 week primary, 1 week secondary. My latest pale ale spent close to 30 days in primary and something went incredible wrong. Both the smell and taste leave a lot to be desired and the FG went down to 1.006. Whilst i'm perfectly...

hops are on my way! And i must say the delay wasn't on hops direct at all, it was on me & paypal. Without realizing it, my account got frozen and I wasn't getting any pending payment notifications, thus I didn't realize hops direct was waiting on me. even with the shipment, i'm getting hops...

good news, they replied to my last email. They said they were really sorry the first payment request didn't show up and they would issue a second one. This second one i got and the bank should transfer funds to my pp account first thing tomorrow. Looks like i'm finally getting those hops, I can...

otherwise it's just wrong

yeah, i did today before posting my update. my mistake probably lies in not querying them before hand about shipping to mexico.

i still haven't been contacted regarding shipment nor payment. Guess i'm gonna have to buy really expensive hops elsewhere in my country

still waiting for my shipping quote to Mexico. My guess is they don't sell to Mexico or something, as this is my second try at scoring hops with them and even tried reaching them via email long before this order.

turns out hops direct isn't keen on shipping to mexico or something. This is the second order i place with them and i'm still waiting on word from them. It does piss me off seeing they reply promptly to some other people but seems like international buyers just can't catch a break. anyone knows...

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
