Hi,
I decided to go back to extract brewing for a while because these days I just don't have time to do a mash on brew day. I am doing small batches, so the containers of extract I ordered (from Northern Brewer) will both be used for two different brews (a 2.5 gallon and a 1.5 gallon).
It is going to be a few days (maybe a week) between these brews. Is it fine to just re-cap the LME containers and stash them in the fridge for this period of time? Or is it something that can spoil once it's opened? Any precautions I can take to make sure my LME is still good for my second brew?
