If I have whole beans (of course they are killer beans) Would it be better to store them in the freezer or the cupboard? Also does it change once the bag has been opened?

do not freeze. store in an airtight container and use asap. moisture and oxygen are the enemies.

Jerry's bags when sealed not airtight enough?

the more you drink, the less you have to deal with storage questions. Keeping them in the bag, after assuring you get most of the air out, should be sufficient for short term storage.
Don't freeze!

Not really. He has one of the best bags I have seen though. Go to Target, KMart and get a container with a rubber gasket and store the beans in there. They are better at keeping the air out between uses. Or be like me, drink 22 pots in a day and never worry about storage
