they should be all dried up by this weekend
If I'm ordering in pounds my vendor ships in one bag. So I weigh out 2 oz increments and put them in my vacuum sealer. I'll label the bags and store them in the freezer.
I've heard many different opinions on how long they will stay fresh.
a long time, tightly sealed in a freezer. i have some that have been stored for a year, they're fine.

I just realized how bad that sounded!! :cross:
yes, i grow my own pubes, er, pot, er, hops! yes, hops.
a friend of mine started growing last year. this year is the second season, and we tripled our amount, especially with hallertau and cascade. we also grew fuggle.
They are everyone's hops, but me being the head brewer, they're pretty much mine
This weekend we're making AT LEAST four beers with nothing but the homegrown hops. i'm making a german hefeweizen and a dunkelweizen using the hallertau, my friend is using a combination of hops for his wonderful coffee porter and we'll probably make a lager and a pale ale as well.

Ok..I know I'm like new at this and all...but that was one of the coolest things I've ever read! :rockin: I now have a new goal to reach for. The bar is set a little higher.
