1lb Cascade Leaf
1lb Amarillo Pellet
1lb Centennial Pellet
1lb Chinook Pellet
What all should I brew? And what grains should I get a large amount of that I could use on multiple different styles?
I just ordered 7 Lbs yesterday
Columbus Leaf 1 Lb
Cascade Leaf 1 Lb
Mount Hood Leaf 1 Lb
Magnum US Leaf 1 Lb
Amarillo Pellet 1 Lb
Centennial Pellet 1 Lb
Chinook Pellet 1 Lb

Appears that we have similar taste in hops.

Nice selection!
I foresee a lot of IPAs, Pale ales, ambers, browns, maybe wheat, stouts, BIPAs.
I’d buy a couple sacks of 2-row, maybe a couple pounds of crystal, some carafe III, munich, wheat, choco, and black.
This makes me thirsty…

Why the Cascade leaf and not the pellets?
I’m all for what shredd3r said.
because I never used leaf hops. Just something different to play with.
They clog things…proceed with caution. I don’t care what people say about poorer utilization, from now on if I use leaf hops in a brew, it’s going in a sack.
thanks for the info.
I guess I was under the impression that they were better than pellet in that department. and really better for dry hopping.

I don’t think that’s true. I’ve read several times that pellets are better for dry hopping. I could be wrong though.

It really depends on your system… If you have something like a bazooka screen in your kettle, whole hops form a filter bed and seem to clog less than pellet hops.

I’ve dry-hopped with both and I can’t say I notice a difference in aroma. I have noticed the large amount of beer that leaf hops absorb.
feeling very confident about the leaf hop purchase.
+1 And the pellets impart their goodness faster given the greater surface area, plus they are almost immediately fully submerged.
Awesome. I still fondly remember getting my first Puterbaugh pound of whole hop flowers in the mail.
Really fun to slice the bag open and stuff your head in there. 
Food saver might be in order. Protect your purchase and it will last a long time.
Cheers.
this is about the exact same combo that i ordered, i made a mojo clone with mine.
1 lb Amarillo
1 lb Centennial
1 lb CITRA
All pellets.
Fresh Hops was “kind” enough to sell me 2 lb of leaf Simcoe.
All now live in my freezer.
Just waiting for Columbus pellets for another order from Hops Direct.
Good Luck
I ordered a lb each of Amarillo, Citra and Chinook leaf. I only use leaf hops unless I can only get pellet. The best part about HopsDirect is that every lb I’ve ordered has been 3-4 oz on the heavy side.

Lucky, dude. I love Simcoe.
Not this year, at least not on my first order with them that arrived yesterday - Citra and Chinook were both right at a lb, Amarillo and Centennial were 18 oz, and Comet (had to try it just for the name) was also 18 oz.
How did you guys get Citra from Hops Direct? I don’t even see it listed on their site.
