Ordered 6lb of hops from them. Total was around $75 shipped. Since they are in WA, I get next day delivery with fed ex! Fn amazing! $11/lb is way better than $1.80 - $2.50/oz at the LHBS. I definitely recommend these guys!
 
The hops are cheaper at your local supplier- are the hops better quality from Hops direct?
$12.50 a pound from hops direct
$11.52 from local shop

16oz in a lb. So even the cheapest pellet hops from the LHBS are $28.80/lb. I wouldn't be surprised if hopsdirect was one of my LHBS's sources since it's local. So it's probably the same hops or at least the same quality. The only thing is that most of the LHBS hops are 2010 crop whereas the ones I got from hops direct are 2011 crop.
 
The other day my nearest shop sold me hops for $2.50/ oz I believe. Most varieties looked old and dry.

Saw this advertised here yesterday. Seems the best prices I've seen for small quantities. Anybody know the quality?

My most local shop sells $4/ounce even for domestics like cascade. I have no idea how fresh they are. Some of the other local shops are in the $2/oz range but nothing beats those sweet hopsdirect prices.

The prices are definitely good. I haven't used them, but I've heard good things about them and they are a vendor here. If they were local to me, I'd definitely use them.
 
I read the post wrong- I thought he meant $1.80 for 2.5 oz of hops. I should probably lay off the homebrew.

For those that haven't tried Farmhouse Brew Supplies. They are a great vendor. Cheap hops and good service. I just wish they did free shipping over a $100 like some other vendors. But at their prices you can't blame them.

FBS is great...I've ordered from them a few times and have had nothing but good experience.
 
Received my hops direct order today. All 6 1lb bags were actually 1.3lbs. Holy hell they are great! Almost 2 extra pounds!

Yeah, last time I ordered 6lbs and got 9...
 
I'm still using my order from last year. I love my lhbs but the price outweighs my small amount if guilt.
 
I think you guys have convinced me.. most likely going to place an order with Hopsdirect very shortly. Just planning out my recipes :)
 
I buy from either Farmhouse or Label Peelers, depending on a LP sale. Farmhouse is so cheap that even though their shipping is more expensive, it usually works out cheaper to go with them. I also like how they package their hops at farmhouse. LP just sends bags of hops, sometimes not vacuumed well.
 
Thanks for the info and feedback guys. My LHBS has a poor selection of hops and at $3 an OZ they are in pretty poor shap as well. Just ordered 4lbs from hops direct and im stoked!:mug:
 
The dozen shops around me (within 60 miles there are about 18 HBS) all sell hops for about 4.00 oz. I ordered 20 pounds from hop union or hops direct depending on availability of varieties for about .75-1.00 an ounce. The thing that bugs me about hops direct is I can only get one pound of perle hops per order. I use a half a pound in my pale ale alone.
 
Got my order in today! 4 18oz bags. $50 shipped to Alaska! I am sooooooooooo glad I found these guys.
