Bought an oz packet of Mosaic lupulin powder from YCH hops about a month ago. Kept it in the freezer until a few days ago and removed it to dry hop a California Common. To my surprise the packet was now super inflated and pressurized, unlike how I bought it at the LHBS.

At the time of purchase it looked like any other 1 oz packet of pellets, but it looked like this when I pulled it out.

Has this happened to anyone else using lupulin powder from this supplier? If so, any ideas why this happened?

I don’t kept my freezer open for long periods of time and I haven’t put hot object in it to cause excess to moisture build-up.
