Re: EVERYBODY PANIC
It's true. Hops prices in our brewery have almost doubled since last year, and that's with a contract.
I run the home brew supply shop at our brewery and I had to sign a contract committing me/us to hops this year. I've already bought out my contract on some varieties, and can get a whopping THREE PACKAGES (That's six ounces total) of those bough[out varieties.
Trying to find hops OUT of contract is like trying to find a virgin in Las Vegas - impossible, even if you DO know where to look.
