Thanks Niko!

mccumath I think you should follow your signature "Put it all in the primary, and let the BeerGods sort it out"

Though some in the boil kettle would be good too. :mug:

Exactly! That sounds like a damn fine idea!
 
Nice assortment! Thanks for posting this. Whats fun about this is I never saw what went out, it was up to Warehouse Enforcer Scott to grab from the bag. He's putting together another large bag to pull from. I will announce it sometime tomorrow they will be the same price.
 
Got my 2 lbs yesterday and I am very satisfied. Nice selection including 6oz of 2009 Amarillo. Package was pretty beat up but hops were fine. Thanks Nikobrew!
 
I just put these online again, we have 20 pounds and last time we sold just over 30 pounds in about 24 hours.
 
Managed to get 4 this time. Thanks!

Thank YOU and to everyone else. We're about half sold out of these already.

What would you folks think of grab bags of newer crops? They'd be in the same price range of 2oz packs on our site now which are still pretty darn competitive. May be just a fun way to buy hops.
 
I was able to get 1! Too bad only one. I need to work on my hops storage capacity. The better half will already be less than excited about the pound on its way. haha
 
Where do the hops ship from?

Bellingham, Washington. We ship via USPS priority though so not including Sundays and Holidays and the day they actually ship, it only takes 2-3 days to arrive to all 50 states (add a couple days for Alaska and Hawaii).
 
12oz of 2010 Amarillo 10.9%
4oz of 2010 Citra 13.4%
4oz 2010 Northern Brewer 8%
8oz 2010 Centennial 9.2%
1lb 2010 Chinook 11.7%
2oz 2008 Warrior 15.8%
4oz 2009 Simcoe 12.4%
2oz 2009 Magnum 10.7%
2oz 2010 Cascade 5.4%
2oz 2009 Saaz 3.5%
2oz 2008 Liberty 4%
6oz 2009 CTZ 12.8%

Got my hops today too! Ordered two grab bags plus a pound of Cascade. I think the selection is diverse, very happy with it.

Received mine a few days ago.

6oz Chinook
2oz Amarillo
2oz Fuggle
2oz Centenial
2oz CTZ
1oz Cascade

Was shorted 1 once but was really happy with the variety!
 
Hey folks, thanks for posting what you got, it's fun for me to as I didn't even see what each person got :) Challenger, sorry for the 1oz packs, one time we made a few 1oz packs for a special package (Homebrew Chef Sean Paxton from The Brewing Network and BYO and I put together a package of 6 1oz packs of various varieties to cook with), next order you place put a comment in, you'll get a lil extra :p

Also, as to requests for more grab bags.. I don't expect to have more of 2oz packs of old stuff but we may have some random full pounds to put out there. Also, since this has become so popular we may make grab bags of current crop year hops. They would of course cost more in line of what current crop hops cost, but it would be fun to get a random assortment. And as you can see we didn't just put really inexpensive hops in these packs. Thank you for your orders, support, and feedback, have fun and cheers!
 
I've missed both times. Please do more, I want some hops grab bags in my life!

Lol, it's all about us finding them in the warehouse :) I don't think we have any left though.

Would anyone be interested in grab bags of hops powder? These would seriously be incredibly cheap. Warehouse Enforcer Scott does a great job of making sure nobody gets a bunch of powder in their bag of hops and after bagging up a 44# box there is usually an ounce or two of powder. That is labeled, vacuum sealed, and stored. They have been out of a freezer for up to a few months so may be good for lambics. I will check and see if we have any varieties that are specifically good for lambics. More than anything we just want them gone and don't want to lose $ on shipping. Like you, we don't like anything going to waste, ESPECIALLY beer making ingredients :)
