I have left over Chinook hops from me bad last batch 7/12/13 I smelled them. They smelled just fine. I do have another fresh bag. Just wondering if any one would still use the old ones from July, keeping the other for a furture batch?
 
If they still smell fresh you'll be fine. There are places to figure out the AAs you've lost so far, but as long as they were kept cold and out of UV light, I definitely wouldn't just toss them out.
 
The owner of my LHBS told me rule of thumb is 6 weeks room temp 6 months in the fridge and 6 years in the freezer
