Hello all. Question from a Newb...
I've tried looking and found some ideas on storing the DME (wal-mart cereal containers was the last thing I saw). Most people don't suggest storing the LME for long periods of time. But if you do, store them in the fridge.
But what about the containers of the liquid base?
For example; I'm still using my FisherPrice/Mr.BeerKit 2.5 gallon (I just started HBing on 10/12). I saw that there are a ton of these TrueBrew, Coopers, and Muntons that use the Malt Extracts (You can get various styles; stout, red, pilsners, etc) in LARGE containers meant for 5-6 gallon brews.
I'm wondering if I can use 1/2 of one of these, and then store the rest in a container or something to use again. No specific recipe, I'm just wondering the fesability and the duration of storage for such a thing.
Thank you all.
