It's basically the shipping price divided by the amount of hops we order. $58.34/56lbs= $1.04/lb to ship. For instance if you order 6lbs, your shipping price will be $6.24.

Hey Tom,
Centennial- 8 out (big run on this lately - hopefully getting some more in next week, check back)
Blake

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Say it isn't so. Say it isn't so. I was looking forward to the centennial the most out of my order.

Fingers crossed on more coming in next week.

Also, I'm guessing that the other centennial is yours, right?

kds1398- Cascade (1), Columbus (1), Magnum (1), Northern Brewer (1), Nugget (1), Williamette (1), GR Hallertau MF (1), UK EKG (1), Centennial (2)
 
You are correct, so I'm bummed too! He did say they might be in next week so we could let this ride and additional week. you guys gotta let me know what you want to do.
Tom
 
I have Centennial in my list, I have no problem waiting an extra week if not, I'll switch it out for something else.
 
Tom what are we doing about the Centennial? If we can't get Centennial I think I will take Cascade instead.
That 11lb bag of cascade?? Do you think that comes in on big bag and then we have to separate it individually? Or will it be 11lbs of 1 lb bags?
I think there is a lot of room for infections on the hops if we are passin them out from a big bag? I like to dry hop.
 
Koedbrew- no problems with infections. Hops are naturally a (big medical word inserted here that means they repel/kill infections). Supposedly that why they started using hops in beer back "in the day".

Seems everyone is okay with waiting so thats what we'll do. I really hope he gets more Centennial as well since thats all I ordered for right now. If he doesn't get any in the next shipment, I guess you can replace them with something else or drop them from your order all together. Lets just keep thinking positive! I will have to e-mail him about the 11# bag thing. I have a scale here so that wouldn't be a big deal, but I vacuum seal mine in mason jars, not bags, so that could be a problem.

Hi Tom,

I have to change some of my order since two of my hops are out. I will go with the following:

(1) Willamette
(1) Golding
(1) CZ Saaz (was Saaz)
(1) Cascade (was Sorachi Ace)
 
I would be interested in waiting on the Centennial. Thankfully, it looks like others are currently in agreement.

I'm buying 8 to 10 pounds total. Would you be willing to split my hops into 4oz portions with your sealer in exchange for some sort of trade/compensation?

Sure, I have a bjs size box of bags. Not sure how much material it would take, my sealer tends to waste a bunch, but we could at least do 8oz sizes.

I like liquid compensation :)

I will bring my scale to speed things up also.

homebrew or commercial?

I can bring a digital scale that works up to 11lb that's supposed to be accurate to 1g if it helps.
 
That does put us at 11# for the Cascade. I'm not going to remove anyones Centennial as of now. We'll see if he gets some in next week and go from there. If we start changing orders now and he ends up getting some, that will just make for massive confusion on my end.
Tom
ps. Appreciate everyone offering up scales/vacuum sealers! Great group of guys we get in these buys!
 
I just wanted to post and let everyone on this buy know that I just got my hops from B Crosby Farms. Everything was packed very well and it was easy to do business with the owner, Blake. Good luck with your buy!
 
Just got an add on for my order, Please add one pound each Summit and Gr Hallertauer
So all together...

Cascade
Northern Brewer
Summit
Gr. Hallertauer

Thanks
 
Hey all! This buy will be for hops only from B. Crosby hop farm. Talking to Blake, we have to gfet our total order together so I can get our actual prices and shipping. The more we order of one particular variety, the better discount we get for that hop. Shipping will more then likely be around $1.00-1.50/lb depending on our total. This will work the same way as our grain buy in that the orders will be confirmed, payment will come to me, and I will place the order. I will more then likely receive the order at my work so I can go through it right away, then we can plan either a group pickup date at my house or an individual pickup. My zip code is 19522 if you wanted and approximate distance. Hoping to take orders until next weekend (May 15), take payments the following week (May 15th-May 20th), and place the order the following week. Obviously if we have a bunch of people jumping in toward the end of the order date, the dates may be pushed back a bit. Below is a list of the hops that are available. You can go to www.bcrosbyhops.com to get some approximate prices. If you have any questions, please let me know.
