Tempture

Getting the time of the year with higher temperatures slowly rising that I have found storing for the long haul is a problem. I have tried storing in the coolest part of my home but it seems like temperatures above 45 cuased stored pot to degrade to brown quicker, loss of flavor ect. Last year I vacuumed sealed in bags 0and put it in a refrigerator and it kept very well I thought, kept its color and smell, way better than going brown. I have already placed my half gallon jars in the fridge and plan on using a foodsaver tomorrow to vac seal out of the five gallon buckets,mabye not pull them down to hard as a brick style even though it worked fine last year.
I just hate loosing taste and color. I don't know any other way.

Freezing works.
