Hi,

My dad found some wild hops, he dried them for me, should I now store them in a jar or freezer bag? In the fridge or the freezer?

Thanks

The colder the better, the less air exposure the better, either purged or vacuum.

Ok thanks!

One more thing ....minimize exposure to daylight and fluorescent light.

Liverdance told me about purging a 2l pop bottle and ising that to store.

What do you mean by purge? Squeeze an empty bottle?

I use a carbonator cap on the pop bottles to purge out oxygen with co2, but i only do this with pellet hops. With wild hops you would be fine using a freezer bag with the air squeezed out and storing them in the freezer.

Thanks. I will put then to good use in due time

Great idea!
