Is there alternatives if someone doesn't have access to vacumm seal? such as an airtight container etc.?
After doing a few all grain BIAB's I have a lot of left over hops. I have been sealing them up in zip lock bags. Is this the best way to store them or would I be better off cyrovacing??
bulk hops are cheap $10 per 450 gm .
Where do you get hops for $10 per $450 grams!?

Zip lock bags still breath, they are ok for your sandwiches for lunch but not for hop storage for more than a week or two.
Vac sealer and if you can get them for your sealer foil bags are the best, if not the clear bags are great.
Then store as cold as you can, fridge is good but I think the freezer is better.
Sealed properly and frozen they will keep years with minimal degradation.

Once you've got your vac sealer don't forget to marinate a couple of stakes and seal them up :icon_cheers:
and that fresh fish, mmmm

I just treat them like any other frozen food, once defrosted do not refreeze. I find it doesn't take that long to grab a bag, weigh out the required hops and get them back in the freezer. I doubt they would actually be out for more than 30secs.
