Are my hops still good to use?

[jhsbaker]

Hi AHB'ers,

I normally keep all of my hops in vacuum packs in the freezer, but after moving house I accidentally left a vacuum pack of cascade pellets in a turned off freezer for about 1 month. I am guessing that the temp would have been around 30degC. Do you think that these are still good to use?

Regards,
James

How do they smell? Your nose will tell you more than any other thing.

I ordered some hops (cascade amarillo) online which got delayed in the mail for about 3 1/2 weeks. I put them in a brew on the weekend which is now bubbling away smelling glorious....

I'd say they'll be fine.

Not sure yet, as the pack is still sealed. I'll open it the day before brewing just in case so I can get some more if required.

Thanks
James
