The Hops in the Freezer!

[critch]

i went into the litle brewery freezer today(dont go in it much only store a few odds and sods in it due to having a biiiiig chest freezer as well) to liberate the last of my riwaka and nelson sauvin to make a requested small batch beer for the festival

some muppet had switched it off

quite some time ago......

do you recon ill be able to make beer with foul smelling brown mush??

[beer gut]

I think you know my opinon to this unfortunit accident, and that is if you are making ales chuck them out only use hops that are the fresh to brew fine ales.The only use i can think of for those foul hops is to make a batch of Carling black label or any of those chemical lagers caus the people who drink that sewage won't be able to tell the diffrence . Since i have started freezing down my hops i have noticed how well they keep, how long can you keep the hops in the freezer?

Mind you, I've only used 15 of them... and I just made a list so I can pick hops to go with some experiments with Amber/Mild/Brown malts. Any suggestions of hops that would compliment either Amber, Mild or brown Malts would be most appreciated

An OCD that is based in the use of the 'Sort' function in Excel, just to organise for the sake of the forum.

I organise my CD albums in vague genres and artists, NOT alphabetically!
