Yakima Valley Hops?

#1 Post by bike2brew » Sun Jan 07, 2018 4:59 pm

Anybody ever buy hops from Yakima Valley Hops? They are advertising 2017 hops in a 2 ounce size which caught my attention because I like knowing how old my hops are and I don't want to buy hops by the pound any more. Let me know what you thought of the quality of their hops. Thanks. Tom.

YVH is pretty much my sole source for hops and has been for the last 5 years. they have the best packaging on the
market with sealed but resealable mylar vac packed bags on the larger sizes. they are very honest about
the age of their hops and will tell you up front on their website. with that, i wouldnt have any problem
buying one or two year old crops from them, they really know how to package and store their product.
highly recommended. i just ordered about 5 lbs from them saturday.

Couple yrs ago I got a 1 lb pkg from them and it was 2 oz short. I mentioned it to them and they apologized and sent me a 4 oz bag free. I get my simcoe from them.

I recommend them and also Puterbaugh Farms. https://hopsdirect.com/
Both are easy to work with.
