Saw the post on the Hops Direct sale and am drooling at the thought of purchasing 10 lbs. of hops for about $0.62 per lb. instead of the usual $3 from my LHBS...
Question is, how long can I store my hops? I am assuming that these are last year's models already. I have looked at the 'official' answer, but I am looking for real world experience. I will store them in my freezer, and will probably need to invest in a FoodSaver.
Based on my past brew levels, I am estimating that I would get around 50 batches out of these hops, so that would be at least 13 months worth of brewing to comply with the legal limits
Any thoughts on the specific question of "Am I overbuying", or more generically how long the hops could be stored
