I was wondering if I could put my unused hops from 1oz bags into a plastic bag and put them in the fridge or the freezer and keep them good? How long would they stay fresh?

That is a good route. The freezer is best. If you can swing it, using a vacuum sealer is even better. I have hops that are more than a year old and they still seem good. If they start to seem weak I will use larger quantities.

I don't have a vacuum sealer,so I reseal the pouch & put it in a zip lock freezer bag with the others in the freezer. Works pretty well so far.
