Sale at 47Hops.com - $4.47 per Pound

[NothingRhymesWithCurtiss]

I just wanted to share a promo that I found.

47Hops.com is running a promo for $4.47 per pound. Shipping was $13 for 3.5 pounds going to Michigan. But even with the shipping cost, it's cheaper than most vendors that I have found.

I've never ordered from them before, but I should be pretty well stocked up for summer!

They appear to all be from 2016.

It looks like they are selling all 2016 hops. Maybe they are some type of clearance house? And they offer half pounds for just $2.24, which are going to stay fresh longer, so that seems the way to go!

I can get 8 pounds shipped to California for less than $10. Pretty good rates there too!

3lbs shipped for 22$ and some change not bad considering I ordered 3lbs earlier this morning for closer to $70. Personally I don't mind the 2016. I ordered a few pounds earlier this year from 2016 and thought they were fine.

Why would a half pound stay fresh longer?

I'm very interested to hear how these are packaged upon arrival.

When I have bought 1lb bags (form other retailers) they came in 1 big bag. Once you open that bag, you loose the nitrogen they flush with (usually) and the bag gradually starts deteriorating. If you got 2 half pound bags instead, that second bag stays sealed and fresh while you are using the first.

2 1/2 lbs shipped to South Florida for a grand total of $20! Heck of a sale.

Looks like they filed for bankruptcy in August and 2017 and are going out of business.

Not intended to plug a supplier, but I always use these guys: http://www.hopsdirect.com/

Just ordered 10 pounds in half pound increments for $33 shipped to Chicago. Glitchy site tho, hope it's legit!!

I just ordered 3 lbs of various hops in half pound increments. If they aren’t packaged well then I vacuum seal them in mason jars and store in the fridge.

Makes sense. I always repackage if I have left overs in a vacuum bag. I never trust the nitrogen flush unless it’s direct from the hop pellitzer.

These guys are for real, but they're in Chapter 11. There's a big thread over at BA about it: https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...t-of-business-4-47.572282/page-2#post-6020131

 

[murphyslaw]

Welp. I just placed an order for myself and a friend of 13.5# of hops. Let's hope they arrive and are not cheesy!

 

[Manufacturedevolution]

My more expensive order from YVH arrived in two days. That's fast shipping considering I live on the other side of the country in SC. Still no shipping conformation from 47hops.

I’ve got no shipping confirmation, either.

There’s a thread on beeradvocate in which 47hops answered some questions in addition to stating that they were doubling warehouse staff to help accommodate the massive influx of orders brought about by this sale. They also said they were having server issues that interfered with confirmation emails (never got one myself). Apparently their customer service department (One lady named Amanda I think) has been very helpful and 47hops recommended calling or sending an email if you have any questions. Not sure I can provide links to competing forums but it should be an easy google search to find the thread.

+1 I have vacuum packed hops from 2014 in the freezer, I break them down into 4 oz packages and use them as I need them, once I open them for a beer, I will use any remaining hops quick usually depending on what hop as a first wort or bittering since there usually less than an ounce and I do 15 gallon batches. If they are NZ hops ill throw them into batches of cider that always seem to be hanging around.

Did you get shipping confirmation? If not, I'd contact them.

 

[Boomer]

Placed my order the same day. Still haven’t seen a shipping confirmation.

 

[murphyslaw]

On the other thread about this sale someone said they ordered on 5/10 and received the shipment yesterday.

 

[Manufacturedevolution]

Ditto.

 

[Jayjay1976]

Did you get shipping confirmation? If not, I'd contact them.

I received an order confirmation and then an invoice on the day I placed the order, but no shipping notification.

I just sent an inquiry about the status of my order through their contact page. Let's see what happens.

 

[Br3w4u]

They probably ran out of product. I remember this same thing happened when nikobrew hops went out of business and they had to refund some orders. Home brew supply did it too when they sold the business.

This may give you an idea where you are in the shipping lane:

I just received a reply, they are currently processing orders placed on 5/11 and will send tracking info when my order ships.

 

[IslandLizard]

Great deal!
I placed my order today, 12# of IPA hops. Received order confirmation and invoice.
FedEx Ground shipping to Maryland was $15.90. That's pretty decent too.

I can wait...

 

[NitrogenWidget]

I’m feeling better. I ordered a lb of CTZ then a smorgasbord of half lbs the 13th so hopefully they will arrive next week. Don’t need them just want to make sure I get them.

 

[pinchegil]

Yeah, the company is selling off a large overstock of hops probably to try and get out of bankruptcy, at this price i bet they have thousands of orders from hopheads like us. I have 20 lbs ordered on the 15th
