Same here; hops in vacuum sealed bags in the freezer and yeast (dry or wet) in the fridge.

I tried the glycerine+freeze for wet yeast once, but it was a hassle and the yeast didn't seem to do any better for all the effort.

I've had a packet of dried yeast (US56) in the freezer for about a month now. Have I killed the poor innocent wee yeasties? Or are they gonna be OK?
