Those prices aren't bad considering you don't have to buy a full pound but if you ARE interested in buying a full pound I think you'll find this website is generally a little cheaper: hops-direct

I just placed an order for 4oz of cascades with shipping it was like 4.60, only problem is i got an email saying they dont have them in stock... So now I have to wait. Over all I thought it was a pretty good price.

That's who I just ordered from. He has friday specials which helped some of my order to be cheaper than HD. Plus, he has some varieties that I wanted that HD doesn't carry. ie: Summit, Simcoe.

I know. I have ordered from them in the past. But I'm getting sick of brewing with the same 4 hops. So the 4 oz size is perfect for me to be able to change it up.

I buy the large amounts and occasionally just sell my hops to other local homebrewers at my cost. More people get cheap hops and I move through the inventory faster. Everyone wins!

I've been buying 2 or 3 hops that I don't have a pound at a time to get my stash up. That way if I want to experiment or see a recipe I just get the grain and the hops are much cheaper. So far I've ended up using a lot of Mt hood, but the Williamette is up next, me thinks.Cheers,Rich

About 6 months ago I bought a pound of Target, Golding, Cascade, and Williamette. It was a good mix because they all ended up going well together I found.

I buy by the pound, if I find myself overstocked in hops, I just brew a bunch of big hoppy beers. :)
