Not mine - Wow.

same here

 

[kdoggmoney52]

I am with everyone else. If they are still good willing to by a couple pounds of that simco and others.

 

[bigbeergeek]

Holy $hit.

 

[bigbeergeek]

I'd buy 'em today if the quality is there.

 

[ProzHack]

Yeah, at $5/ lb, I'd buy some this weekend. Put me down for 1# each of the pellets, plus the centennial and CTZ. If you buy them could you have them weighed/separated by Monday? I'm not local, but have a friend traveling back from that area on Tues morning.

 

[alowell]

Maybe. I have some people that are interested in whole boxes. The rest I can separate out, probably into ziplocs and ship in flat rate boxes. I'll keep everyone posted

 

[zeekage]

Sounds perfect to me. I'd take a lb of simcoe/Amarillo/centennial for sure.

 

[ZamaMan]

How many lbs are iin whole boxes?

 

[alowell]

11 lbs. in most boxes

 

[JRems]

I would buy a pound of simcoe , Amarillo, and ctz.

 

[sinisterkid]

put me down for some..

 

[I_B_Mongo]

Assuming they check out, I'd be interested too.

 

[blizzard]

I'd be interested since it's relatively local

 

[kdoggmoney52]

If this all checks out put me down for all the simco. I will pay for it all. I use simco in most of my beers. Give me a price shipped for simco?

 

[hopplease]

I would be down for a pound of all the leaf varities.

Let me know how they are...

 

[klars]

I would buy a pound of simcoe , Amarillo, and ctz.

I will do the same.....obviously I will pay the extra for shipping to Canada.

let me know.

Ass :Mad:

 

[zeekage]

no kidding. At least spell Simcoe correctly before claiming it all out from under us.

Haha

I understand that Simcoe is getting scarce, and you all want some. But consider the OP. He might prefer to

sell an unopened, already packaged container to 1 person,

rather than

opening / oxidizing, separating / weighing various amounts, resealing bags (does he have a vacuum sealer? Those bags are expensive), repackaging each for shipment, addressing all, managing many individual payments, communications with numerous anxious buyers, etc.

If he wants to do that, great, but I can tell you that I wouldn't. Truth is I don't want anything that has been opened. Oxygen is the big killer here. (you guys can have the simcoe though, can't stand the stuff myself)

Well, if he sold all the hops at $5/lb (which, by the way, I think is a fair price) he would get about $515. So... Seems like it would be worth it. Of course, quality has to be there and it has to be worth his time, but it would be worth it to me.

Speaking of, I think we could work something out if you want help with the weighing and sealing... As long as you're not a crazy murderer.

My point is, if I were the OP I'd rather sell the whole lot to someone than take all the time to divide it up, etc.: money's the same and irrelevant. You all jumped on the guy who wanted a whole box. But for the OP that would save a bunch of effort for the same $$$

 

[zeekage]

OP can obviously do whatever he wants. But we're still not going to like the fact that we missed out on a share of an awesome deal on some hops because someone slid in and took the whole lot. That's just the way it works sometimes for sure though, and that's cool. I understand.

I was also just busting his chops on misspelling the name of an awesome hop, hence the at the end.

 

[alowell]

Hey guys, obviously selling whole boxes at a time would be best. For something like Simcoe where everyone may want some, I would be totally willing to split it up, it only seems fair. I could do a max on lbs. First things first, let's see what they look like and go from there. Sounds like there is interest in a bunch, so we're safe there. I'll probably snap photos of the hops and such (at least the labels on the boxes) so we can get an idea of when they are from.

 

[zeekage]

Sounds like a great plan. Thanks a lot alowell

 

[KozHops]

Looking forward to hearing the results of this one!

 

[ProzHack]

Sounds great! If you're gonna break them up, can you prioritize by response innitial responses? I only say this as I'd hate to be cut out of the loop. And when are you actually seeing the goods?

 

[alowell]

Sure, How about FROM THIS POST, I will cut off requests...same with the PMs I get. After that I will repost what is left and see what everyone else might want. I'll have to figure out splitting stuff up after I see if the goods are of quality. The guy is bringing them down from the mountains...and of course we are getting a snow storm now, so it could be tonight or as late as Sunday. He is up at 10,000 feet. I am in a holding pattern

 

[alowell]

Alright everyone, here's the scoop. I went over to check out the hops. All of the leaf hops are from '05/'06 crop year and the pellets are from the '08 crop, purchased in '09. I was given the impression that everything was a little younger than it was. So, I decided not to purchase them and get stuck with all of the hops. I asked if they would just consider the pellets for sale and they said they would have to see if anyone took the whole lot first. Personally, and this may be different than what all of you are thinking, I was only comfortable with the pellet purchase and not the leaf hops. Anyone have thoughts? I was trying to make the best decision for me, but also for you guys as well.

 

[blizzard]

Agreed. I would consider the pellets, but the varieties I wanted were leaf. So, I suppose I'd rather not at this point.
