Future under a different name?

Post by ulvdemon »

speaking of future, Does an almost full bottle of future lose its effectivness at all ? my bottle is 5 years old and has stayed in my cabinet in the house and it still looks good, so i thought i would ask about the age of a bottle of future.

Good question, I'm sure that much isn't used per session.

Here in NC, Lowes and Home Depot both have it, but I found a bigger bottle for a good price at Walmart.

I had a bottle for almost a decade. It still worked, but it eventually developed some slow-growing fungus or bacteria that made cloudy, fuzzy places hovering in it. I strained them out the first time and kept using it, but they regrew so I tossed it.

The bottle I have now I keep in the main bottle and decant a small amount as a working stock. That way I don't expose the bulk of it to floating critters too often.
