I've been taking advantage of MoreBeer's 12 Kits of Christmas, and ended up with a kit that includes whole hops, which I don't expect to brew right away. I normally store pellet hops in the freezer, but this is the first time I've dealt with whole. Should I do the same thing with them, or store them differently?
Storage of whole hops?

Definitely freeze them.

That was fast! But makes sense. Into the freezer they go.
When was growing my own I vac' bagged them flat and stacked them in the freezer. I was using one year's harvest while harvesting the following year's cones and the hops were still great
