Wow, so I just looked at ordering hops by the pound for ~$10 versus ~$3/oz at my LHBS. I had no idea I was spending so much more than I needed to.
I want to buy probably 3-4 pounds of hops in varieties that have the most multi-purpose use (bittering and aroma) or work well in lots of different styles of beers.
I'm starting to get to the point of wanting to tweak some recipes to my liking, so it will be easier to add smaller or larger quantities of hops instead of being tied into the 1 oz packages.
What types would you suggest I get? I mostly brew pale ales and IPA's, but I usually throw in some different styles here and there. I'm thinking cascade for one pound, but after that I don't know.
