Freeze fresh or give away?

[mikeysab]

So being the slacker that I am, I waited too long to strip my plant. I've been harvesting enough each day to fit in my dehydrator, but now i'm going on vacation for a week and don't have time to strip and dry. Can I pick all the hops and freeze them till I get home in a week or should I just open up my backyard to the homebrew club and let them harvest whats on there? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Pick them and let them air dry on the dining room table while you're away. They should be just about ready when you get back. If you let your brew buddies take them just ask for a 6 pack of whatever they make.

If i gave them away, thats exactly what i'd ask for. Didnt think about just leaving them out to dry. Really don't want any bugs though.
