Hey all,
So I am back in Taiwan, but a hop order didn't make it to me in NY (FedEx....). Luckily yvh is amazing and resent the order to a coworker who has them, but she's in quarantine in a hotel without a refrigerator or freezer. I'm trying to arrange a pickup from a friend who can get them frozen but the hotel said they may not let it happen.
If I can't get them until after her quarantine, that means they'll have spent a total of 22 days at room temperature since leaving the warehouse (average of 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit).
I know this can't be goooooood but my question is, how bad is this likely to be? These are all IPA hops so definitely want them to be in their prime. All pellets as well. I'm guessing even if I get em frozen immediately, it'll basically take a year off their life (I give hops 3-5 years in the freezer before they're no longer suitable dry hops). Any experience with this?
Best,
Tyler
