Time to make my 2011 hops order from Hops Direct. Anyone else want to share shipping?

I may want to piggy back on your order Don. Let me go through my inventory and I'll let you know tonight.

No hurry it will be next week before I'm ready

How do you guys store your hops to keep them fresh?

I bought a cheap (Walmart) foodsaver vacuum sealer. Seperate them to @2 oz. packs and store them in my chest freezer. I try to use them in a year but have used them 2 or more years later and they are still good. It's my understanding that they do lose a little of their AA values after a while, so I will increase the amount a little the older they get.
I would not store them in a self defrosting freezer.

I am in... Let me get my wish list together and get it to you this week.

1 lb Centennial
1 lb Czech Saaz

Thanks, Don.

Hops Direct closes on the 23rd until Jan 2, so Im going to place the order this Sunday PM, if anyone else wants to get in. Please go to their site and make sure they have the variety and type you need first.

Thanks
Don

The order is placed.

Sounds like a good time to schedule a hop trading session at our next meeting.

I'm in.
