Totally forgot got mention it: These are actually wild hops! Foraged next to a rural road with not zero, but little traffic.

And yes, it’s a sous vide stick. The one by Inkbird, which I got relatively cheaply. It sits in a hop tube so no grains can get into it.
After use, I instantly rinse it, then put it in a jar with clean water and let it sit there until I’m cleaning up everything. Then, I rinse it again. As it doesn’t have to be sterile, I’m fine with this regime for the time being.
