I've never seen this before, and was wondering if anyone else has. I have a 1lb. bag of Simcoe Pellets, Hop Union, that is inflated like a balloon. I bought that bag in January, 2013, and its been in a freezer ever since. I have four other, 1lb. bags of Simcoe pellets, that I bought in April, 2013, that look normal.
The website states they'll last up to 3 to 4 years. I even called Hop Union Customer Service, then was directed to someone else. They had never heard of this either.
I'm looking for assurance that they are still good, before I open them up on brew day.
What would make the bag expand like this?
Have you ever seen this happen?
