Can I freeze hop oil?

Examining a Tom Caxton's Real Ale kit, the instructions suggest adding either 1/2 or the whole of a sachet of "hop enhancement system" (ingredients: maltodextrin, hop oil).

Can I use half and freeze the other half for use in another kit? If so which kit might benefit the most (see sig)?

Any lipids will have a longer shelf life when stored cold, oxygen is the big killer to lipids. Preferable is this significantly reduce at -80c and below, but you home fridge should increases its shelf life
