But not until next year!

They're also re-calibrating their scales during this down time.

A package was waiting for me when I got home. I attempted to order a pound of hops a week or so ago and got the dreaded e-mail..."if we cannot fill your order we will not charge your card" low and behold... 1# 7 oz of cluster pellets were waiting like christmas morning for me.

What do they charge for shipping? I have this aversion to letting someone charge my credit card when I don't know exactly what they are going to charge.

I just realized this thread was from January _last year_. Whoops.

Send them an e-mail. To my location, it's:

1# 8.76
2# 9.95
3# 10.64

I've ordered from them several times, I've called a few times as well. They have always been up front with prices and answers to my questions. I even had a technical questions (not related to a purchase) and they had one of the "people in the know" call me back to answer my questions.

I'd put them in my "highly rated vendor" category

 

[Halaster]

How are their prices now compared to Midwest for example?

 

[The Pol]

I got all of mine at Freshops... they are all basically $2 an ounce and the shipping is ok.

same here, only i will say, hopsdirect has a bit better pricing... i tiried to direct compare, but hops direct wont let me add a damned lb of centennial to my cart

freshops was fast with shipping, and i do not see a reason to change just yet, especially with a poorly designed shopping cart!
i have built websites, with shopping carts over 7 years ago, this is unforgivable!

ok, being a little dramatic arent i ?
anyway, they have some varieties hops direct does not, but lbs only? wtf?

 

[Seabee John]

depends on the hops you want... but generally cheaper

 

[flyangler18]

I use Puterbaugh Farms (HopsDirect) when I'm buying by the pound-- price averages $1.30/ounce; Freshops for smaller amounts.

 

[gxm]

Hops Direct seems to have more variety (esp International) and better prices, but you have to order a pound minimum for each variety.
I've used both, and both have quick response times and reasonable delivery charges.

 

[The Pol]

Yeah, I would have had to have bought abought 8 POUNDS of hops from HopsDirect, when all I needed for 2009 was about 2 pounds. So, it still would have been WAY more expensive for me to go to Hops Direct.... unless I was going to split them wth some brewing friends, but I know no one locally that brews.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I just got 1 pound of Magnum from hopsdirect that ended up being 1 lb, 6 oz. That's $1.44/oz *including* shipping to Ohio.

Paying more somewhere else is just silly.

:rockin:

For 1 lb lots, Puterbaugh Farms(HopsDirect) FTW without question. Order from whoever you like, based on an evaluation of selection and delivered price. HopsDirect gets my business because I rarely order less than a pound of any single variety.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

I rarely have a need to order less than 1# either. I'll always find a way to go through hops.

When I do I'll just get them from my grain/equipment supplier when I place an order with them.

You don't say.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

You don't say.

Ya, brewing one of those annually always helps clean up my hop inventory.

DUDE! You could have just dropped off the excess the next you were in Charlotte! Just stick them in your carry-on. I am sure no one would mind...

 

[The Pol]

Wish my wife drank coffee like that!

You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you that she is my mistress would you?

DAMN!

[The Pol]

No, serously I know all of these people that "want to brew" but they never do, and when I invite them over for a brew session, they never come. So I am like... whatever dude. Stick to your BMC and Lifetime movies then.

Youd think in this city we'd have more of a presence, but no.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

FWIW, North Country Malt is now the midwest distributor for Hop Union. I'm not sure how long they've been selling hops, but I don't remember seeing hops anywhere on their site the last time I visited.

Hops :: Malt & Hops :: Catalog

Most varieties are $24/lb.

They're clearing out 2007 crop with some varieties as low as $16/lb if you buy a 13# mini-bale. That's too much even for me, but a good deal for a homebrew club going in on a group buy.

I went ahead and order from hopsdirect after they emailed with with the shipping rates. It was essentially about $8-9 to the Kansas City area depending on the amount ordered. I ordered three pounds

Looking forward to getting them.

[The Pol]

HopsDirect looks like a great deal... I may use them in 2010. I do not need 1lb of each variety, but since I can vaccuum seal and freeze them, they will last a VERY long time.

 

[flyangler18]

I can count on at least 3-4 oz overage every time I order a pound from Puterbaugh.
