I'm trying to order stuff for an ale, and I have to have crystal hops.
So far, THREE of the online suppliers I've checked don't have them. What
gives? Is anyone else having trouble finding them?

This is really aggravating. The single most common reason I end up
having to buy from one particular supplier is that they don't have the
right hops. The most convenient supplier for me is Dan Listermann, but
if you look right now, you'll see he doesn't have crystal hops, which I
use in several recipes. So I buy a lot of things from Morebeer.com and
Austin Homebrew, which take longer to ship.
You'd have to be nuts to order a single ingredient from one supplier and
the rest from someone else, because of the huge shipping penalty. So I
insist on getting the whole list at one place, or nothing at all.
Just ordered two batches of ingredients from Austin.

Don't you live in Florida? Heart's Homebrew carries Crystal (pellets). I
haven't used them in a while, but they've been great when I've used them
in the past. Good selection and located in Orlando. I generally use
Austin Homebrew, but they're pretty close to me.

People don't realize how big Florida is. Orlando is about 240 miles away.
There's a place in Ft. Lauderdale, but they do mostly extract, so
they're hit and miss. I would have gone there this weekend, but they
didn't even have the grain I wanted.

Yes, but isn't that just an hour or so by dolphin?

Aren't crystal a US grown descendant of Hallertau? If so then Liberty, Ultra
or Mount Hood ought to be close alternatives.

I would go by manatee, so I'd have time to soak up the scenery.
