Not saying there's anything "toxic" in the Hops BUT how do you know what is or what isn't in the Hops. You said you didn't even know if they've cleaned the barrel they store it in for decades ... I'm sure that no "chemical analysis" is done before they ship it ... and there's no label that gives a "breakdown" of what's in it .... realistically it sounds like you are "assuming" that's it's OK.
I'm not trying to be picky ... but it does concern me how loosely this stuff is monitored or the fact that it is not tested against some "standard". There is really no certainty as to what it contains or doesn't.
