I don't know what "tools" you have. But maybe one option would be to just put them in regular plastic bags on the counter, spread out the hops in one "layer" only, so they are all flat inside the bag, submerge the bag in water, )maybe you need two pieces of flat material in each hand so the hops won't bunch up again), so the pressure of the water will drive most air in the bag, out. Then while you're holding it there have a friend seal the bag with a lighter or something. I guess it would be easy to burn a hole through the bag though.. Or get a cheap sealer to make the seal. Then store in freezer. I know that air permeability isn't great in plastic bags, comparing to proper hop-bags, but if you don't leave them in the freezer for ages, i guess it would help.

The idea of using yeast as an O2 scavenger came to me today. Would it make sense to somehow put a little dish of yeast and food alongside a bag of hops inside a jar that is able to become airtight, leave it at room temp for an hour or so, and then pop it back in the freezer? I would obviously not like to create little hop grenades, but pressure is a calculation away. Is this a bit much for a cheap solution for hop storage?
