Been using Worcester Hop Shop (WHS) lately, before and during CV. Usually get a 25kg sack and a kg of hops. Use maltmiller occasionally too. Used Crossmyloof (CML) for hops and US Pale yeast who are good but stock levels got overwhelmed due to CV.

All depends who’s got the stock of hops and if I need a sack of grain. WHS and MM have been good for me during the last 6 weeks.

I’ve used Worcester Hop Shop and recently Malt Miller, both of which were good (I only buy a few hundred grams per order). Hops are usually the only thing I buy online (I get everything else locally)
