I have just bought 3.5Kg of hops and i can smell them through the bag so i'm thinking they won't keep for very long. How does everyone else store there hops??

I use a food vacuum and vacuum bags, keep hops in freezer.

Minimum is 1000, that's alot of bags.
If there was a bulk buy, I'd be in for 20 or so.

They look the goods and price seems good (not that i would have clue on what they are worth).

If a bulk buy happens I'll be in on it for the sake of it. but for the saving of a few dollars each (if that...more like cents)...don't think it would be worth it...unless someone wants 2000 of them hahaha.

I use them and typically buy them from my coffee parts supplier.
Prices range from 60 cents for a 250gram bag through to $1.35 for a 1kg bag. They all have a 'vacuum' seal and zip lock.

For 5 cents a bag I wouldn't bother with a 1000 bag bulk buy unless you get a lot of people interested.

Is there a vacuum pump available that attaches to the bag's valve?

 

[razz]

I think you just seal the bag and squeeze all the air out through the valve.

Was just looking for a way to store my hops, Anyway came across this

http://www.coffeebags.net.au/products.php

They do minimum order of 100 and at 0.52 cents a piece for a 500gram bag wth valve, sounds like good value?

http://www.coffeeparts.com.au have similar products at a slightly higher price but there is no minimum order. I've bought from them before and they are good to deal with, very fast service.

Just get the Hop bags Ross sells at Craftbrewer, I think they are $0.50 each for packs of 10, they are great and generally come with labels to write your hop details on..

Cheers
