So I was at this place in upstate NY doing a wine tasting this past weekend and as it turned out they had a little section in their store with homebrewing supplies, so of course I had to take a look. I noticed that their entire stock of hops (crosby and baker brand I think?) and dried yeast (s04,s05,munton's, nottingham) were all out on the shelf not refrigerated. Now I decided to say something to the girl working there about how they should be in the refrigerator. She said that because of the way they are packaged they do not need to be refrigerated and I of course disagreed. I'm thinking she was fed a line by her boss and doesn't know any better. Doesn't this seem pretty ridiculous though?
