Alright guys and gals well many of you probably already know that the hops industry is changing rather quickly. I need some serious help from the minds of the HBT consumer. Since its you all that lead the industry in knowledge of all things Home Brewing. I need some help.
I currently carry close to 100 different types of hops in stock in both 1 oz and 1# packs. Well, our vendors are changing a LOT the their selections from 1# to 8oz packs. Also we buy and keep in stock US and import hops. Well we are looking at reducing the hops that we currently carry because of all the new hops that are coming out and we just don't have room for them all in 1oz, 1# AND 8oz packs.
What I am curious about is 1, if the price is the same per ounce would you rather have the option of an 8 oz pack over a 1# pack and 2, do you guys really care if the hops come from the UK or the US so if you have the option of buying say, UK Goldings Vs. US Goldings for instance. We have found that we are carrying several different types of Goldings for our customers like EKG, UK and US. On that same note we are carrying hops like Azacca to Zythos and many others that are quite unique and we just cant continue to carry them all with the room we have.
Anyhow, any help here would be huge for us and we can try and better serve you all on the hops side.
Cheers
Jay
