Cheap Hops

[Parva]

I'd add Pioneer and Progress if you could stretch to it too, both are used in many brews.

Watching this one closely too.... Any thoughts about grain at a later date?

[dcq1974]

Just so you are all aware, I have been in contact with said hop supplier and here is an example of the prices direct from them. Minimum order quantities are 5 kg. Here are a few examples (PM me your email address if you want a copy as I have a pdf they sent me with all hop prices that they trade in).

Challenger £14/kg (£70 for 5kg) so works out to raw material cost of £1.40 per 100g
EKG £15.30/kg (£76.5 for 5kg) so works out to raw material cost of £1.53 per 100g
Styrians £11.65/kg (£58.25 for 5 kg) so works out to raw material cost of £1.17 per 100g
Cascade £24.75/kg (£123.75 for 5kg) so works out to raw material cost of £2.48 per 100g

So prices are not bad at all from nowacki considering he will need to split up 5 kg pack into 50 100g packs per variety so as long as postage is kept to a minimum then all looking really good.

I will keep watching this post me thinks!

cant wait

Will it be possibly to get slight discounts for bulk buys.
1 kilo for example?

hmm a kilo of ammarillo, i could use it to bath in

[worcshopshop]

If you wanted to order more than 1kg of each variety I could offer a bulk discount. I'm not in it to make a fortune just fair prices for hops the last cascade's I brought were £4.79 a pack which I thought were a bit too expensive. After looking into the pricing I came up with fair pricing for hops which I would like to share with everyone.

[rick_huggins]

I think you won't have a problem gaining a healthy customer base on here with those prices..

I have just used willamette as a finishing hop for my IPA and it was great. I have recently just started using cascade and will deffinatly be blending the 2 in my next brew, probably with challenger for bittering in a golden ale.

Looking forward to some cheap hops.

I think you have my requirements covered at least...

Good prices on 25Kg bags of malt would be good too

Hi there
Being as your selling these hops through a business do the prices include VAT ?
Phil

[worcshopshop]

I will be setting up as a sole trader and i'm not legally allowed to charge vat unless I turnover £67,000 per year.
I'm off to Durham for my daughters christening and wont be back until tuesday to answer anymore questions until then have a good weekend everyone speak soon happy brewing.
