I vaccumed sealed a bunch of hops a few months ago and put them in the fridge. How long can I expect them to last if they are vacuum sealed?

A while. I know that doesn't help but I have used hops that were pretty old 1yr+. If they are air free or packed super tight, then I usually freeze them and they last even longer. If there is any air in the little bags then I keep them in the fridge. You will notice some minor Alpha Acid degredation but in most cases it's minimal.

We vacuum seal my hops after each use and toss them in the freezer. It usually takes about 2 months to go through 2 pounds of hops, but they are always still fresh by the time they get used.

Right on man.

Fridge is ok, but Freezer is the road to go. With a freezer and tightly sealed you stand less chance to high loss of AA%

In the Fridge, you will experience a larger loss of AA over time.

don't get me wrong, it's better than keeping them on your counter for the year. Just don't trust the AA count after a year.
