Hello, out there.
I'm in need of a bit of help.
I found a cache of wild hops here in Colorado Springs and there's more than I can deal with.
They smell just like The Columbus hops I grew this year.
They look like they'll be ready in a little over a week.
Locals? Suggestions?
 
Are there enough hops to make it worthwhile to buy a vacuum sealer? The freezer would be best for long term storage. Make a small wort with DME to test the flavor of the hops to see if they are to your liking.
 
Remember that if you're not going to dry them, you can use them as wet hops, in which case you need 5-6 times as much by weight. Time for some wet hop beers!
