Just a question on storing hops (pellets). I have been brewing a couple of years (extract/partial mash) and getting ready to venture into all grain. I now have a pretty good idea of the hops I like/will use a lot of and want to purchase those in bulk to save a little money. I have been putting the 1oz packets I have been getting into a freezer bag and keeping them in the freezer until used.
My question is if vacuum sealing would be beneficial? I have a vacuum sealer and could vacuum seal whatever I have left of a bulk purchase, then open it when I need some, then re-vac seal. I keep my vacuum sealer put away, and being a basically lazy person, if there is nothing to be gained from vacuum sealing prior to freezing, I could just throw them in a ziplock freezer bag.
What is the consensus of the masses?
TIA for input
