1lb of dried hibiscus flowers to try adding to brews and a food saver so I can store hops (and countless other things) properly.

You’re gonna love the food saver. I use it for nearly everything. I especially like it for leftover BBQ. Seal it, freeze it, days/weeks later boil water and throw it in, and it comes out like the day you smoked it. Moist and tender. Plus it opens the door to Sous Vide.
 
It was supposed to be 3 airlocks and 3 No 6.5 stoppers. I didn't really need the air locks, I ordered them just for the stoppers. The package says No 6.5, but the stoppers say No 7. (I had #7 stoppers already, they are a little too big to fit a growler or a Carlo Rossi bottle)

What food saver do you use?
 
3 lbs of hops which one bag was punctured and lost it’s vacuum. I suppose it’s still good?

After badmouthing these, I need to post a followup. The stoppers really are No 6.5, the "7" is a recycle code (which is weird because they are not recyclable, that's what 7 means) What I needed and didn't know it was No 6, or maybe even a half size smaller if there is such a thing. I found that out at the LHBS, where I should have gone in the first place, except the one that sells stoppers is 15 miles away.

I half regret not going for the Spike over the SSBT, that thing is a work of beauty [emoji102][emoji102]

Thanks, man! I definitely splurged a bit going full custom and all that, but I don’t think I’ll have to think about vessels again for a very long time! Now on to wiring the control panel
