Has anyone bought through FBS before? I think they have pretty good prices on many
items and wanted to know if they're reputable.

I bought a 4 ounce pack of Wai-Iti from them in July. Just opened to make a batch and there was only 3.8 ounces in the pack. They included the package weight as part of the hop weight. Emailed them and got no reply. Just not right. I won't buy again from them. If my purchase is standard procedure for them you will get shorted on the weight of hops you buy.

I've bought many packages of hops from Farmhouse over the past 4 to 5 years and have never had an issue with weights below what was stated on the package. I typically weigh out my hops by the gram and track all the ingredients on a perpetual vs actual inventory, so any discrepancy on the negative side would immediately stand out.

This got me curious so I went out and weighed a pack. It weighs 4.17 ounces.. How long did you allow for a response. Not every business has someone checking emails all day..

It always gets me when a person has one problem and says "I won't buy again from them" before even getting a response.....

You are also assuming that your experience is typical... I cannot confirm, I haven't weighed out all my packs, but I usually make my additions in ounces and the last addition out of a pack is usually more than one ounce, so I would say your experience is an anomaly.

Farmhouse has been one of my favorite stores for years.

I've got a freezer full of Farmhouse hops. Never let me down.

I also weigh by the gram and have very good scales. This was my 1st purchase with them and it was short. Sent an email over a week ago and just silence. That’s all I know

I would recommend sending another email. It is not a very deep operation with a lot of people running around handling things.
