Storing Protofloc tablets in the fridge

[davidgrace]

I am about to use Protofloc tablets for the first time in my wort. Will it be o.k to store these in the fridge and how long should I keep them?

Hi,
Don't store them in the fridge, they will get damp. This will cause them to fall apart, which in itself is not so much of an issue but it may well effect how they react with your wort, as in, not so effective. Ambient temperature will be fine.

For how long can protofloc tablets be stored at ambient temperature?

I would say pretty much forever. They are bone dry. However, these are the official guidelines:-
Storage and shelf life

• Store in cool conditions away from direct sunlight

• Keep in original container

• Maximum storage temperature is 30°C

• Keep containers sealed when not in use

• Recommended storage temperature is 10°C - 15°C

• The shelf life at the recommended storage temperature is at least three years from the date of manufacture
