Hop Prices In Tasmania

[staggalee]

good point.

Get a kg from Ellersliehops. Latest pricelist I have is $45/kg for POR with $3 postage. That works out to $2.40/50g

Surely there's an opening for a decent homebrew shop on the N.W. coast at least, perhaps a viable buisiness opportunity. I'm not sure of how much demand there would be but surely this would increase if ingredients could be purchased fresh and at reasonable prices along with knowledgable advise on how to brew successfully.
Otherwise perhaps start a club and buy in bulk.
I could imagine that there would be certain liabilities with selling homegrown hops to brewers etc, but if everyone in a club grew a different variety then a swap could be a viable option.

Tas Home Brewing supplies has reopened in the city in Liverpool street, same Amanda running it, prices are still reasonable (no affiliation)Itmechanic :beer:

Pre- apology to any normal Tasmanians, but it really is time you had this sort of problem sorted out.

We have.

If no luck with farm gates and producers these guys could be the way to go in Tas. They supply the Home Brew Stores and are based there:
Hopco

Like ellerslie I think they would only be interested in selling larger amounts but you'd have to check with them.

I try to support the local HBS, but the prices are a bit steep. $15 for a tin of malt when I can get it from Hobart for $9 + freight ($9.00 for 20kg). LDME is $2.00 a kg cheaper as well ($7.00/kg). So I buy my malt in bulk and save approx $60. Only use the local bloke when I run out. THBS are pretty good, but they don't crush grain and have a limited variety for extract brewers. Havent purchased hops or yeast from them at this stage.
