I've been trying to work with the bulk dried hops flowers, not capsules. The capsules are so much more expensive. Based on Isabelle's recommended 2500mg a day, I'd need to take 8 capsules a day and the capsules are 5x more expensive!
Hi P,
do you have time on your hands? I'm wondering about the possibility of grinding up the flowers in a pestle and mortar and filling up empty capsules with it, rather like Chrishoney talked about with powdered PM in an earlier post.

If you did 2.5g at a time, you wouldn't need to be particularly accurate with the quantity per capsule, just keep them together for a day's dose.

"You can make hop powder by buying dried hops from your local homebrew store and grinding them up using a clean coffee grinder."

PS How can someone who's had as much laser treatment as you be worried about the cost of hops capsules?
PPS don't tell me - you've blown it all!
