500g hop bags

Post by sbond10 » Sat Dec 05, 2015 7:28 pm

Just wondered if there's any shops that sold 500g bales of hops. I'm looking at bittering hops like magnum and thinking I could smash through 100g s in no time.
So any shops with fresh ish bales ?

Idle Vallley do them in 500g packs. I just got some EKG pellets from them.

Unfortunately, no. Up until a year or so ago, it was quite easy to get hold of 500g and even 1kg packs of hop cones, with significant savings. Supply and demand, I guess. One or two people organise group buys direct from the merchants, I think. I haven't opted for this yet, but might do when my stock starts getting low. The last lot of hop cones I got were from the maltmiller. Though 100g (and nicely packaged), the hops themselves are top quality and good value by comparison as far as I could tell.

I have been running a group hop buy where I split them out into 500g bags and sell them.

Probably going to do it once more in January when the 2015 stock is out.
