I'm not sure if this question has been answered before in this group, but...

I have a large barrel of nettle brew which I started off about a month ago.
I wrapped the nettles in net curtains before I put them in the barrel as I
found that last year, the resulting liquid was nearly impossible to use due
to the large amount of slimy gunk that didn't decompose into the water (I
just dropped the nettles into the barrel last year). My question therefore
is this...do I take the nettles out of the water at some point or is it
preferable just to leave them in the water until all the nettle brew is used
up? Will the brew become too strong if I leave the nettles in the barrel
indefinately?

I don't use it neat on the plants, generally I use half brew / half water.
