I just did my first extract brew and only used 1/2 oz of the 1 oz package of fuggles. I put the leftover hops inot a freezer bag. Do they need to be refrigerated?

TIA,

John
 
We store all of our hops in vacuum sealed bags and keep them in the freezer. They can hold 70% of flavor,aroma, and alphas for up to 2 years.
 
I refrigerate my leftover hop PELLETS if I'm going to use them in my next batch or two, other than that it's freezer city. Whole hops always go into the freezer.
