if done right and no air can get at it, it will be ok for a long time,but don't wait for ever,I did not freeze it , you did ,so better to be safe then sorry.

that had been in the freezer for 7 years, and was fine, but the guy had triple-bagged it, sealed it up very tight.

I know a guy that did one that had been in the freezer for 10 years, Placed there in a hefty bag. It was freezer burnt real bad. He spent about 3 hours re hydrating it with a hypodermic needle, It turned out pretty good.
