This article is great if you like the chemistry side of all things brewing. Essentially, under a vacuum and freezing temperatures, little to no degradation in both alpha and beta acids was measured over a 12 month period. I would highly recommend a Food Saver.

Found this article helpful and interesting.

Good to hear all the feedback and what you all use. It seems key to long term storage or reduction in AA and humulones, is vacuum seal first temp secondary.

I was going to just toss them in mason jars and freeze but that doesnt look good enough for me. I like the idea of taking lbs and sealing in individual ounces.

I do what IronBall does except I pour the contents of the 1lb bag into an oversized vacuum seal bag so I can cut off a piece at a time as I use them. Seems to work well and you can pick up a couple of really long rolls of sealing bags off of Amazon for peanuts.

The type of freezer may matter.

The frost free freezer compartment of your refrigerator - the thaw/freeze cycles seem to break pellets into powder over time.

The traditional deep freeze chest freezers don't appear to do that.

If you have the choice, I'd pick the chest freezer for your hops.
