Replant Hop Rhizomes

The short version - father-in-law got hop rhizomes from neighbor for me to replant. Right now they are in baggies in the fridge. How soon do i need to plant? should i pant in pots and store inside or plant outside? This is my first time replanting, and just wondering with the changing season in Wisconsin right now… what should i do. Thanks in advance.

If you are planning on planting them outside, I would probably do it now. They will have some time to get some roots established and the cold will keep them from starting to grow too early, which might be a problem inside.
