PhilboBaggins Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 i found a shop near the place im living at the next few weeks sells hops for $7.00 50gm not the cheapest but not the worst...ill check it out next week....his other stuff doesnt look too cheap though...ill get bette later via ebay but at a crunch it seems ok...my LHBS has 100gm vacuum packs for $17.50....ridiculous $7.00 is pretty pricey, but still, it's middle of the range for HB stores. I have my regular guy who does 50g for $4-5 depending on variety, but if I buy 250g it's $16-20. I'm happy with that. I've bought cheaper online, but the postage usually kills me. [crying] Nedster, my advice is to try a few varieties and settle on two or three you really like, then get a bulk buy going to make the postage worthwhile. I buy all of my regular varieties in 250g packs and throw shetloads at my brew if I think it needs it. Either way, you've seen the difference a few G's of hops can make. I'd still pay the $7 to make my beer better. [cool] Well done on your new world order mate. Next time you're down south drop me a line.

LordEoin Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 my plan..im only looking to buy maybe 4 types of hops. I'll throw out 2 of my favorite recommendations(hop:kit) Fuggles : irish stout, english bitter, dark ale Cascade : australian ale, IPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yeah I just ordered 2 pounds (900g) of Centennial, 1 pound of Chinook and half a pound of Northern Brewer, which arrived yesterday. I think it cost me about $65 incl. postage for around 1.6kg. Add those to all the other ones I have in the freezer and I should have enough to keep me going for a while.
