Ordered hops from YVH late on Tuesday, received early afternoon today. That's 9 packs of 2021 hops and 2 packs of yeast shipped complete, from WA to PA in less than 2 days. Shipping was $9.70 FedEx. Can't see ever buying hops from anywhere else. except they don't have cryo. Cryo is safe to buy from the big homebrew supply stores.

YVH carries Lupomax. Isn't that the same as Cryo?

I can't! I make a LOT of IPA. I make a lot of Stouts and Porters. I BUY a lot of IPA. What's your unbiased take on YVH Lupomax pellets?

YVH carries Lupomax. Isn't that the same as Cryo? CRYO HOPS® (LupuLN2 Powder) are the concentrated lupulin of whole-leaf hops containing resins and aromatic oils. It is designed to provide intense hop flavor and aroma, enabling brewers to efficiently dose large quantities of alpha acids and oils without introducing astringent flavors or vegetative material. LUPOMAX® is a highly consistent, concentrated lupulin pellet designed to deliver optimized hop flavor. Standardization of lupulin content delivers true-to-type hop flavor and reliable brewing performance. Cryo is Yakima Chief and Lupo is Hass. I have used them both and they are close enough that I can not tell a difference.

I think we could safely designate Drez as our resident hop geek expert. He's also one of those brewers who knows no restraint when it comes to buying hops.

Denny, you mentioned the Cryo Pop blend one time. Would you recommend them? I have a pound in the cart but haven't pulled the trigger yet. The free shipping is a bonus.
