yep, I've found that pellets last a LONG time if frozen and even longer if you vacuum seal them after opening.
The leaf hops I've tried to keep around just don't hold up long at all. After about six to nine months they start to fade and get a little cheesy

Yep, I was referring to pellets as well. I don't use leaf hops much anyway.

Another thing i was thinking of. I may try to brew 2 pale ales from one batch. Not parti-gyle style, but more of, conduct the mash. Then split the batch into 2 pots. I figure this would be a good way of experimenting with single hop pale ales.

I know freezing hops is the best way to store them. How long do hops stay fresh when frozen?
Buy a vacuum sealer and they'll last practically forever. I use 2-3 year old bags with zero issues. Buying hops by the pound is one of my primary methods for brewing cheaper and not having to sub ingredients. I buy about 10 pounds once a year and work off that.

I talked about cellaring/aging beer before. I have a number of beers that i should cellar that are in my beer fridge outside.
RIght now, the temp for the beer fridge is between 40-45. I also have a fermenting fridge that stays anywhere between 60-70 degrees. What would you recommend. SHould i just keep the beers in the beer fridge, or move them to the fermenting fridge?

My wine fridge is set at 49 degrees, the rest of my cellared beers are at room temp.
Not sure if that answers your question or not. Just letting you know what I do.

In your shoes I would keep the beer in your beer fridge that is between 40-45. Keeping your beer below 55F will only lengthen the aging process. It won't hurt the beer.
The swings in temp of your fermentation fridge in addition to the higher than desired temp will likely cause some beers to mature past their prime earlier than you would expect/want.

This is pretty much what I've gathered from reading elsewhere on the internet. I have my "beer cellar" around 40-45.

The legend of BMoney is alive and well in BR. Just ran into Red Stick Spice Co to grab some vanilla purée. She asked what I was making, when I said beer, she asked if I knew him. I said I had met him
Another brewer was in there buying some too. Methinks he could be a poster? How else would he know the vanilla purée hotspot 
good luck with your beer

I am about to dry hop my Christmas IPA. I took a gravity reading, it's at 1.02 at the moment. I was going to wait, but since i'm secondary dry hopping i'll allow it to ferment an additional 5 days.
What i really came to post about was the taste. My God is it delicious. The aroma is somewhat faint (pre dry hop) but i'll take care of that. But the flavor is amazing. Picking up a lot of berry, citrus, and pine from the mosaic, simcoe, and cascade. This one is going to be outstanding.

Little early but my wife got us a new burner/brewstand.
Beats the hell out of the POS turkey fryer with a 15min timer that you have to remember to keep turning for those hour long boils.
Going to use it tomorrow.

Oh hell yeah! Nice gift...
What are you guys brewing tomorrow?
Brewed a munich dunkle that will be similar to Karbach's 'Mother in Lager' on Monday.
Had a nice little layer of krausen in under 8 hours and its blowing and going now, not bad for a lager.

You using the Wyeast Lacto?
Chico has some new fast souring lacto from GigaYeast I've been tempted to try.

So I ordered the brew kit for my bro and it was just delivered. As I was putting it in my truck I could here the glass everywhere. Pretty fricking sure the carboy is shattered.
