A local (UK) beekeeper who has since emigrated to New Zealand showed me his  
set up.  He kept a chest type of deep freeze specifically for beekeeping. 
 
After extraction (and I guess a period back on the hives for cleaning) he  
would put the supers of comb into the freezer for a couple of days or so and  
then remove them and wrap each one securely in a plastic sack stacked up until  
needed.  It worked for him.
