Hi guys, a few months ago, me and wife decided to move to the UK where I had the chance to buy a rhizome and grow it in the garden. Originally from Brasil, Im a very first timer and Im amazed by how fast its growing but I still dont know how I will managed the hops cones once harvested.
I will probably brew a batch or 2 with fresh hops but even then Im afraid that Ill have more hops than I can keep.
My question is: I have easy access to a vaccuum machine at work. Can I just pop some in a bag and vaccuum them for freezing? How long will them conserve this way?
Would they survive during a month's trip by mail to Brasil if I decide to gift my brewer friends there with fresh hops? Or should I take the time to dry them before storing and or mailing them?
Is it possible to turn them into pellets with household equipments?
Cheers
