Mixed up another batch last night. Have been keeping it in a ziplock bag in the freezer...this is how the fellow that I got the "recipe" from suggests. How do you fine folks store home brewed rubs? 
When I go to use it is transfer a shot glass or two into an empty plastic spice container....

    I used to use Mason jars, but then I realized reusing commercial spice containers worked the best especialy since then I wouldn't have to scoop out the rub I could just sprinkler it on.

    I buy in 2 lb bags.  I fill normal spice jars and refill as needed.  I food saver seal the large bag back up.  Both stored in a cabinet.  No idea if fridge or freezer preserves it better, have always kept at room temp.

    Nature Boy, one of the Dizzy Pig crew has recommended freezing, or low oxygen bags in a cool dark space.

    I've had a few products that came in mylar bags, and the spices stayed good, tightly sealed in the dark for many years. I forgot about some of them, and when opened more than 5 years later, they were still quite pungent.

    I keep basic spices (bought in bulk)  vacuum sealed and in the garage freezer.  After mixing up a batch of rub, the rub goes in reused plastic spice containers and kept in the kitchen freezer ready for use.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.
