Storage
The hops are vacuum-packed and stored in a freezer room at -18 °C. Keep them cold, dark and airtight, preferably in the freezer. Stored this way they keep for a long time, including older crop years. Once opened, divide the hops into airtight bags, ideally vacuum-sealed, and return them to the freezer.
