How many ounces of hops are in your freezer?

[OldManHouston]

Zero. Never had any problems finding the ones I want FRESH...

Since hops are not necessarily harvested year-round, are the ones you buy today really any more FRESH than the ones you bought 3 months ago?

 

[Misplaced_Canuck]

Right there with you... 320oz as of right now == 20lbs.

360 ounces

holy crap I have 22.5 lbs of hops. I have to stop buying hops! I don't get to brew often enough. I really need to go nuts on some IIPA's, or maybe IIIIPA's. I have been averaging 8-12oz on all my APA's & IPA's, but maybe I need to use 1lb at a time lol.

Hum, I don't think I said my hops are fresher than anybody else's. I said I buy them fresh, meaning not frozen.

yeah, i can buy them 'fresh' at my lhbs but they are always $2-$3 and ounce whereas when i buy them in bulk from farmhouse they are less than $1.

since i brew a decent amount of IPAs that use a lot of hops the savings are pretty considerable.

People stocking up huge amounts of hops don't help at all with shortage in the market, but luckily, the places I buy them are unaffected and unaware of any shortage...

A little under 13lbs. of assorted hops, that's my story and I'm stickin' too it!

 

[Yooper]

At this moment, I have just under 10 pounds of assorted hops, all vacuum sealed and ready to use! I buy most of them by the pound, but some of them are homegrown and some of them were purchased by the ounce.
