I have never seen hops like this before, seems like it would be a pita to weigh them out.

Look like big plugs.

Good price, I'd snag 'em if you need 'em and get a decent scale.

interesting...a 4oz plug. Price is reasonable considering the market.

If you have a scale you're set. If not, you can pick one up on the cheap and weigh out just what you need to use.
