Is it better to just refrigerate your hops, or freeze them? I am using a vacuum food saver..

If they are pellets, freeze them; if they are whole, just put them in the fridge.

Whole leaf hops still have moisture in them, freezing them causes this moisture to freeze which can damage the hops and affect utilization.
Hops are kiln dried and don't have much moisture at all. I vacuum seal mine and freeze them. Haven't had any issues.TheJadedDog said:

I vacuum seal mine also and freeze. Vacuum sealing whole hops reduces the volume a bit also, so it don't take up as much room in the freezer.
