Paul84 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Awesome mate , so you cant see any issue with the age of them?. i should think they would be alright as they are 2018 and 2019 vintages, so i think they must have a decent shelf life 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Yep i think my fridge sits between 2 and 4 degrees to ensure the beers stay cold. Also no food goes in there so no worrying about transient odours. No worries i will be adding them to my stone ans wood this afternoon 🤘🤘🤘 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When properly vacuum-sealed, hop pellets should retain their flavor and bitterness for up to five years in the freezer, two to four years inside the fridge, and about four weeks at room temperature. After that, the flavor and aroma will start to degrade noticeably.l 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Frothman Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 @Paul84 Get yourself a food vacuum sealing machine and buy your hops in bulk. I have a freezer full of hops all packaged up and ready to go. It certainly makes things easy from a both an economy and freshness perspective. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 So not sure how this will go . Kegged this after 4 days of DH . Not a "bad" taste to it . Fruity/alcohol underneath but very woody/earthy top notes , so not sure if the hops have added to that . Will leave it 4 weeks and give it a taste 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 First time i have noted the earthy notes, will be keen to see how it matures like you say . Should be good . Almost set up for when the FIL is up, hopefully a few beers to show off lol. Got a Lion City in the droid now . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Another good drop. DH with 50g of Galaxy. This keg is at 6 weeks, will get better with age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Oh, and I've just noticed that I have been sent Y3 yeasts instead of Y2 yeast, should I wait until tomorrow and get some different yeast or just use them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 And once again, cracking service by the Brewart team with 2 Y2 yeast on the way. hey even said that I could have used the Y3 but it would have been a different taste so I'll go with ther Y2 and then use the y3 in something like a Highland IPA etc for next order 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
