Shelf life of fermcap

[SagamoreAle]

I accidentally purchase 3 vials of fermcap instead of one in an online order. Anybody have any idea how long these can last unopened and refrigerated? Can they be stored in a deep freeze without exploding?

I've had my vial for about year and it is still doing its job flawlessly. I don't think you need to freeze them though.

If it's Fermcap-S, it should probably last almost indefinitely on the shelf.

Should last a long time. The bottle I'm using is at least 2 years old.

It lasts a long time. I buy it in bulk.

My bottle is approaching the 3 year mark and still works wonderfully!

Where do you buy it in bulk?

My LHBS has it in the large size. My shop is probably somewhat larger and better stocked than most though. You might find it online.

Mine is 500ml and says Crosby and Baker on the label.

Mine has a date on it that expired about a year ago. I still use it and it works.

Another old fermcap user here. Works great to tame boil offs still. I use it in starters as well to avoid the dreaded yeast volcano... Still kickin
