Shelf Stable Test #1

[@jimrkeener]

What a great experiment! Thanks, Randy, for taking the time and making the effort to do this one.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

My pleasure! I hope to get some good info

[@HodgyE5]

[@stillworksandbrewing]

fun

[@mikew.1902]

This will be interesting. Good experiment. Would hate to be wasting any shine though.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

I did have a tear in my eye 👁️

[@jeffholliman7897]

Look forward to the ongoing results! On a side note it would also interesting to see how long things will keep in the refrigerator

[@stillworksandbrewing]

maybe next time it hurt my feeling about loosing this shine lol

[@jeffholliman7897]

Lol Randy! I was going to ask you how much base shine do you normally keep on hand for mixing

[@stillworksandbrewing]

@jeffholliman7897 great question around 10 jars of 100 proof

[@tommywise1702]

Thanks, I trust self experiments. Real world tests are nice to go with science.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

i wanted to see for myself

[@donniepowell7146]

Look forward to hearing about the results.

[@stillworksandbrewing]

Hope it helps us all

I can say my mash at about 10 percent has been in a barrel all summer and it still smells fine.

My guess is the apple will be shelf stable for a relatively long time over 10 - 15%, think wine. The cream will last about as long as cream would last at room temperature, maybe slightly longer but not much. I have made shelf stable sipping cream by using a milk substitute that is already shelf stable and had some success with that. Generally, homemade sipping cream does need to be refrigerated. Commercial sipping cream does not contain actual milk, they use "milk ingredients" which is shelf stable, but not the most healthy stuff.

Im thinking the same way but i wanted to see for my self
