Hop Union 1# bags- resealable?

[Komocabo]

I just got an lb of Simcoe from Hop Union. I am wondering if the bag can be re sealed. It doesn't feel like a zip-lock type seal. Want to know if I should bust out the foodsaver

Don't know if a food saver will seal the type of bag they use.

If you try to reseal it- post your results.

I would use foodsaver bags

I have and they seal. The vacuum is a little iffy but it does work.

Good to know.

No they do not reseal very well. It will melt the bag together but it takes very little effort to pop the seal. Foodsaver bags have a specific heat range and the foodsaver heat range is not ideal to hopunion pouches. Better to roll up the hop union bag and seal it in a foodsaver bag.

That's what I thought based on my belief that they use a thicker mylar style bag. I always transfer my hops to foodsaver bags when I break into a pound bag.

Yep, sounds like packaging is on my horizon... I bought 9 lbs, so... um, yeah that's gonna take a while. Its a good problem to have.
