1. I have some cascade, Columbus, mosaic, and chinook in that have been in mason jars in my freezer since late 2014. Prior to March 2015, I was flushing them with CO2. But since my last brew day in March (I moved and have not been able to brew again until this weekend), they have been in the fridge but not flushed with CO2. Is it worth using these or should I toss them.
2. I also have some nitrogen flushed packs of hops that have never been opened and that have been in my freezer since early 2015. They have stayed there and have not been opened. Are these still good? I know the Alpha Acids have gone down and I can guess where they are with a formula, but I am wondering if it is worth using these in something like an IPA or anything for that matter. They are 1 lb bags so it hurts to toss them.
Thanks!!
