Freeze vs Refrigerate vs cool dark place
-
I see so many differing opinions on Freezing versus Refrigerating peps. I watched that Video with Janoshik on finding peps in his garage that were probably 10 years old and he tested them and they were still good, minimal degradation.
So it brings me to the question, would it be better to just refrigerate them, store them in a cool dark place or freeze?My thought is, for the stockpilers, probably freeze for longer terms, such as 2+ years, but for anything under 2, fridge i probably best due to the freeze/thaw cycles from freezer. Summer is approaching here, and we have already had some crazy weather, 77 and humid yesterday to 30's, windy and damp today.
Are there peps that you would never considering freezing?
Thoughts?

From what I understand as of now... moisture is your enemy for unconstituted [is that a word?] peps.
I store mine in the freezer regardless of when I plan to begin using, in the original storage box, sealed in a ziplock freezer bag and now with -- I was reading up on this topic and it was suggested to add silica gel or desiccant packs -- I ordered "Color-Indicating Desiccant Packs for Storage, Rechargeable Silica Gel Packets" on Amazon to throw in each bag.
Also advice I tripped across was to let your vials warm to room temp before adding your bac water.

I use the packets, had no idea there were rechargeable ones.
