Juice "shelf life"

[intelicide]

Does juice have a shelf life.
Does it de-compose and if it does can it be harmful,or just bad taste?
Should it be stored cool,refrigerated or warm?

I am new to all this and have not seen it mentioned.

Generally people say juice will last up to two years. It's best kept in the fridge unless it's steeping. It won't do you any harm, but it can taste overly strong once it gets past a certain age.

The nicotine degrades over time so it will be less effective is probably the main concern

Maybes PG is volatile enough to evaporate and leave flavour/nic slightly concentrated perhaps?
In which case we should keep the lids on tight.I dont know.

I think I will borrow my dads hydrometer (wine making measuring device) and watch the gravity of  some liquid over time to see any change.
Maybe someone has already done it.
Should this post be in mixing section?

BTW OneDay,I love your avatar,its like a rainbow of fruit flavours..

If you're going for long term storage, over 2 years . . . then in glass bottles, in a freezer is the best method the informed thinking seems to be Inteli. Glass is better than plastic as flavours can leech otherwise.

Anything under that, then in a cool dark plastic is sufficient and sensible given the warm temperatures most of us have had recently. If you don't have space in your fridge due to unreasonable family Members wanting it used for food ( ) then a cool bag is quite a good place for storage.

I keep about 4 months worth of juice in a plastic box in my kitchen sink cupboard and all the rest goes in the freezer still in the plastic bottles they came in excpet nic base which is stored in 330ml glass bottles also in the freezer.
