are these hops still good?

So, I opened some hop pellets and now they have been sitting in a ziplock bag in the fridge for a month or two, are they still good?

I'd sure use them. Pellets keep better that whole hops. The ziploc probably worked fine.

Better to keep them in the freezer if you know you're not going to use them in a while

Yes, since hops are only harvested once a year, most hops you buy are 3-15 months old and they have only been kept cool.

Freezing is better, though.
