[THC] Group hop buy, anyone?

[Jim Stansell]

Hi,

Even though I live in Michigan, I joined this group because my 
daughter is at Purdue, and I keep hoping I'll be able to coordinate a 
visit to her with one of your meetings.

Anyway, I've ordered from Hops Direct many times and have always 
gotten great service. I vacuum pack the hops into smaller bags and 
keep them in the freezer. That way, when I need to weigh some out, 
I'm not exposing the entire batch. I just get what I need and then 
reseal the package.

I'm still using hops that are four and five years old, and although 
the AA% has decreased, the hops still smell fresh.

Cheers!
