I shall call the beer I brew with it.... ZOOLANDER!4lbs of Magnum! Dude, that's some serious bittering firepower!
Yup it's a Hops Direct order. Showed up a day early no less. The pellets are vacuum packed but the leaf hops have some space in there. I believe the flood the bags with nitrogen? Not sure where I heard that but that seems to be stuck in my head. I'd say your hops are probably still all right though I'd go get them ASAP!Was that from Hops direct?I just realized i hadn't got my hops from them yet. I just checked the receipt from May 20th, They got the wrong ship to address! If it took 4 days handle and another 4 to get here ground, that means my hops have been sitting on the doorstep of my old house since May 28th. They have been sitting in the hot weather for a week! Does anyone think they will still be good (all pellets, vacuum sealed)? Awe man this sucks!Cheers,Rich
2.45 oz per 5 gallons is the plan. So I'll need the first 1.83lbs for the first brew.indeed. I've never used more than 2oz in a 5 gallon batch and that's all the bittering I'll every need!

Thanks for the translation. It is friday ya know.If there's any extra its only a little extra. I weighed the bags and they are all very close weight wise. I don't know what the bag weighs but if I had to guess I'd say they are only a couple ounces over. The pellets are as they have always been, pretty spot on.Have you determined if they gave a little lagniappe? (lagniappe == a little sumpthin extra)

Mine will give me about 100 IBUs at 2oz per 5 gallons (high gravity, 60 min boil).Alas they are home and I am not. I don't think they were 14% this year but I forget the exact AA.

This evening the man in brown showed up. You would have thought it was Christmas from the look on my face when he laid this on my door step:
Damn you... if only this was in the PH.BTW, I can't see the pics at work cause of your porn domain.Definitely more volume than the box was intended to ever hold.
