Hey guys.
I may be visiting the States in the fall sometime and aim to order a buncha pellets to bring back with me. Northern Brewer and Austin Homebrew both have pretty good selection. Austin Homebrew also has Sorachi Ace, which I wanna get, and Northern Brewer doesn't.
But does anybody know how these places pack their hops? Are they in nitrogen flushed light barrier bags or what? I could spend a lot of time e-mailing a buncha places and asking, but I figured a lot of you folks have ordered from a ton of places. So whaddaya say, who do you think has the best quality, selection, packaging and price for pellets?
I'm thinking of getting the following: Ahtanum, Amarillo, Chinook, Citra, Crystal, Mt Hood, Northern Brewer, Palisade, Simcoe, Sorachi Ace and Willamette. But I suppose I may narrow that down. And I am NOT looking to buy a pound of any of these, so I don't want to use Puterbaugh Farms/Hops Direct. I don't want to buy from any place that doesn't use good packaging along the lines of nitrogen flushed, light/oxygen barrier bags.
Any ideas or help is appreciated.
