My last 2-3 batches have had a bit more of a bitter / bite to them to the negative. I bought 1# ea of Nugget and Cascade from hopsdirect. Even though I vaccum sealed them I'm wondering if it may be these hops. I bought them 8 mo ago. They are starting to yellow a bit on me. What is "shelf life" on whole hops? Figure they're actually a year old now since fall is harvest season.
Anyone? Bueller?
