1st Time Purchase, Will Definitely Return - Trevor C. 8/15/20
"I had heard of YVH from the many homebrew forums, but had always just picked up my hops from my LHBS. I decided to give ordering directly from YVH a try when I was unable to find Simcoe locally. I ordered 1lb and they shipped quickly. The packaging is excellent with mylar foil bags, nitrogen flushed and vacuum sealed. I am very happy with their product, shopping experience, and feel great about buying direct from the source. I will definitely be a repeat customer!"
