Evening everyone!
I opened the two sachets of youngs wine finings about a month ago to clear a demijohn of mead. I used about a fifth of each sachet as I only needed 1 gallon to be cleared and the sachets are good for 5 gallons. The remainder of each sachet was kept in an empty glass miniature bottle. Tonight, I used another fifth of each to clear another demijohn of mead, without thinking about the storage and shelf life of the liquids.
The bottles have been kept in a cupboard and the temperature of the utility room is around 20 degrees.
Is there a shelf life on these sachets once opened? Should I have kept them in the fridge? Will I poison myself and others if the mead is drank??? Please help before this is potentially my last brew!
On the plus side, the mead is clearing dramatically after only two hours!
