Have 12# of hops arriving tomorrow. Yeah, I went a little overboard. I need to package them all, but I'm running into a problem: I can't find a FoodSaver I like for a price I like. Sure, there's plenty of stock at retail prices, but I've seen some pretty slick deals and would prefer to wait for a sale before buying one of my own.
To that end, I'm going to borrow a friend's for a few days and put some wear on it. I think I'll have to break down and do it by the ounce. I don't see any other viable way to store the hops so that I can use them in all of the recipes I have, plus be able to trade them later on. That is, without having a FoodSaver of my own to re-seal larger packs later.
eBay has 6", 8" and 11" wide rolls, 50' long each. Which size width should I pick, and about how many rolls will I need to pack 11# of pellet and 1# of whole leaf hops 1 oz at a time?
