Default Shelf life of fish emulsion?

Would refrigerating or perhaps freezing the fish emulsion bottle after
I open it be okay? Again, I'm thinking of ordering some online, but
I'm apprehensive if the fish emulsion will go bad quickly once I open
it and would like to know this before I buy and waste my money. I only
have a few plants on my balcony and even 10oz. will be a lot for me.


I just leave mine in the unheated storage closet that's on the balcony.
If the bottle's too full, the content can leak out when it expands as it
ferments more or if it freezes.

I still using my bottle and it seems to be working - it's not killing
the plants, and my lemon tree usually puts out a lot of flowers just
after getting a bit of the fish emulsion.

hope that helps!
