Cost of hops

[Pennine]

Just wanted to express my condolences on the cost of citra. I had no idea at the difference in price from the states and the UK even for UK grown hops.....

 

[Broken Toe]

Is it significant?

 

[Ezza]

I wish I could buy Citra plants in UK

 

[Rodcx500z]

Agree i paid last night £7-60p for 100g of citra

I was just thinking of doing a single hop brew with citra. Might review that...

People are prepared to pay that for liquid yeast so is it that expensive? I guess you can reuse yeast so that's a difference.

I stopped buying USA hops a couple of years ago. Way too expensive just for a slightly different flavour. I'll stick to UK hops. Even better the ones I grow myself.

Never bought any liquid yeast so can't comment on the price

Wow! Where from if you don’t mind me asking? I paid £4.99 or so for 100g from lovebrewing a few weeks ago.

CML do good quality hops and very good value

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Quite a bit of it is accounted for by the difference in pack sizes and UK homebrew (but not wholesale brewing) supplies being subject to VAT.

But eg 225g Citra 2020 pellets at CML is £15.50 including shipping = US$21.43

8oz of Citra pellets (no year specified) at my namesake (no relation!) is US$22.99 = £16.63 + shipping (free >$40)

@Rodcx500z Given the price I would say English but a Google tells me the brand is US, so I’m none the wiser.

Just win one of the raffles, simples

My go to is geterbrewd for 1kg bulk hops.Normally get 4 or 5 kg at a time.
1kg of 2020 citra £38.75, honestly can't complain at them prices.

If you want uk hops, any thing from £16 to £20 for 1kg bags.

£5.70 at Geterbrewed

Citra only comes from USA. £7.60 is wildly expensive for 100g.
