Now that's a lot of basil! I'm jealous.
I usually freeze mine with water in ice cube trays and then put the frozen cubes in a plastic freezer bag. When I need basil I just plop as few cubes into the pan.

I tragically lost a lot of basil this year. We went away for a long weekend, and it got colder back at home than expected, so I lost the tomatoes and basil.
