bottlebomber said:I just think when this kind of feeding frenzy mentality gets going like it evidently has with the new delicious hops, huge number of brewers, and limited supply it's easy to get emotional about it. I know I was a little worried at first until I was able to get a little communication with the company, and realized that 1. They were doing the best they can, and 2. I was promised to get the hops I payed for. Now if I had payed for hops, didn't get them, and missed out on deals elsewhere I would be pretty pissed and want some kind of compensation for bad business. So far I fortunately haven't heard anyone having that experience. This was my first experience with Label Peelers but I will definitely be doing this again next year if they offer it. If I seem a little overly vocal it's because I love that they did this because I don't have time to sit there checking on websites to order what I need before it sells out, and I am a patient person. Waiting a couple months for prime hops is no big deal to me. I just don't want it to be that there are so many people bitching that they decide to not do this anymore.

Got am email from the guy Matt (dont know him personally but appears to be an owner i think) and he said they will do it again next year, however they will put in big bold letters that they cannot guarantee timing. They shipped 800 orders from in last 48 hours.
Got my shipping notification for my amarillo! worth the wait. I think they handled this just fine. Ill order from them again.
Mine came in yesterday and I picked them up from the apt office today! 1# Citra/Amarillo.
(kinda)
How long do these hopunion bags stay fresh? Is it better to leave the pellets in these until I use them (no idea when) or vacuum seal them (these are definitely not vacuumed sealed, although I swear last time I got them in these bags they were, but perhaps I was mistaken)?

The defrost cycle does not warm up the food in your freezer in the manner you are suggesting. If the defrost cycle worked in the manner you're alluding to, all of your food items would be ruined because they would continually melt and refreeze and your ice cubes would melt and then refreeze into a giant block. The vegetable crisper in your refrigerator portion is inferior because the temperature is simply higher. Even assuming for the sake of argument that the temperature of the hops themselves really did fluctuate like that, it wouldn't create the kind of damage you would have to food from that because pellet hops have almost no retained moisture - i.e. they do not conventionally "freeze."The hop union bags are nitrogen flushed which is far better than vaccum sealed.
Leave them in the hop union bags until you use them and keep them at a cold and stable temperature. From my understanding a self defrosting freezer is not your best option because of the warming that takes place when defrosting. I currently use a vegetable crisper drawer, because it my best option until I get a chest freezer Im actually going to use as its intended.
