Great HOP pricing going on!

[masonsjax]

They don't have Simcoe, and nobody seems to have Summit, but I just ordered 9# for less than $100!

3# Cascade, 3# Columbus, 1# Amarillo, 1# Galena, 1# Willamette

I already have about a half lb each of Centennial, Northern Brewer (GR), and Willamette, which were each heavy by at least 3 oz to begin with.

Yeah, I just bought a crapload too. My wife is going to fillet my nuts.

 

[BlackTieBrewing]

Just ordered 1# each of Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Hallertau. Time to make some IPA's!

 

[pksmitty]

I'm in for 4 pounds. 1 each of Cascade, Fuggle, Magnum and Williamette!

WooHoo!

 

[bakins]

I already have 5 pounds in my freezer, so I just got a pound each of Magnum, US Goldings, and Willamette.

They must have just ginormous quantities of hops in their storage. Just imagine it.

I ordered 3 pounds to add to my 4 lbs in my freezer. My wife will not be happy when she sees all the meat I have to put into the fridge to make room in the freezer. I ordered over the weekend and worried that when they came in on Tuesday they would not have sufficient quantities to fill my order.

 

[Ksosh]

Very simple, use a Food Saver cap and just press the Reynolds sealer down over the hole. Can't tell how much of a vacuum it creates but it does work.

Thanks

how long will hops last in the freezer? seems like 4 lbs is a TON of hops for one brewer to have on hand. Are you guys brewing every day or do they last for 3 years?

 

[samc]

Monday order - UPS notice today (Friday)

Vacuum packed and frozen they should last for a long time.

At the per pound price it is a lot cheaper than going to LHBS and buying by the ounce even if you wound up throwing some of it away at some point.

Last batch I did 10 gallon of Brutal Bitter used 1lb of Crystal hops - so they don't last as long as you think. A Pliny clone uses even more.

 

[dontman]

I probably use 6, maybe 7 pounds in a year. And I don't do many Ipas at all.

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

I regret using the "pay by Paypal" option. I ordered a couple of days ago and have not yet even received payment instructions!

What the hell though, at those prices I will suck up the inconvenience and vomit rainbows.

Why do I suddenly hear angels singing???

Well ****, I hope these hops are still good by the time I get them. Timeline...

Ordered 9/6
Order processed and shipped 9/11
Expected delivery date 9/17

So after not processing my order all week, the send it out on a Friday night, it hasn't even left WA yet, and will sit in that UPS warehouse all weekend. Then when they finally leave with my order on Monday, it still has to travel across the US for 3 days in the back of a truck. I hope I don't have two bags of cheese on Thursday when they finally arrive. Anyone else have issues, yall seem to be getting your orders in a timely fashion.

I ordered mine on Tuesday, and haven't gotten the ship confirmation yet. But I'm sure they are thoroughly slammed and doing the best they can. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Mine have to go through Dallas before coming to Vacherie, LA. I ordered on Monday as well, but mine have not shipped yet. I am going to call on Monday to check on the status.

 

[UncleDave]

Thanks for this post. I had been on the fence whether or not to buy in bulk, but when I saw the new prices, the decision was easy. Now I have eight pounds of pellets coming my way and I ordered a pump-n-seal for mason jar storage. Next up is a barley crusher.

1lb Amarillo
2lb Cascade
1lb Chinook
1lb Fuggle
1lb Willamette
1lb Centennial
1 Hallertau

 

[bhs668]

I ordered at 2:30pm on Tuesday 9/8 and called yesterday. She told me it would probably go out early next week.

 

[Nablis]

Ordered monday got my tracking number friday.

 

[memphomaniac]

I just jumped over the cliff too for five pounds. Cheese and Crackers. Noticed that they have "New Crop Leaf" on some varieties posted.

This is why I try to get my orders shipped USPS whenever possible. I got my tracking info on Tuesday for delivery on the following Wednesday. (8 days?!?) USPS flat rate would be two business days max for me from anywhere in the country.

The worst part is where I can see my package sitting in a UPS warehouse in some nearby place like Harrisburg for 4 days before making the last few mile trip to my house.

 

[Beerrific]

Wow, the new crop prices are great too. Good news.

 

[The Pol]

Wow, the new crop prices are great too. Good news.

NEW CROP prices are under $1 an ounce... nice. Wonder how long we will be paying $3-$4 an ounce elsewhere.

 

[MikeInCtown]

I hope that when I put in my order on Tuesday everything will be fine. Would have done it today but the local place took/bribed me of all my cash <crying>

 

[adx]

Maybe I'll get luck and get new crop since I didn't get my shipping notification yet.

A week in the back of a UPS truck are NOT going to kill your hops. Where do you think they store them for over a year and the hops are still perfectly fine? I'll give you a hint, it's not in a big freezer in the sky.

 

[Brewin_CRAZY]

holy crap, they just have good prices on hops period! Found where im getting hops from in the future.

 

[oswegan]

I wish they had Simcoe.

i do believe hopsdirect uses cold storage. but i think ups do deliver and ship on fridays and saturdays. i also believe they still drive on sundays but dont make deliverys

 

[Cold_Steel]

Just bought 3 pounds this morning :rockin:
great deal i saved 40 dollars and that doesnt even cover shipping!!
