Fish hydrolysate shelf life?

Hey RIU, hope everyone's year is off to a good start and everything is growing well.

I made some fish hydrolysate and it's been sitting for about 7-8 weeks and I'm just wondering if anybody has knowledge of how long it should last.

Ingredients:
Blended whole salmon
Rice powder
Pineapple
Coconut water
Distilled water
Molasses
Phosphoric acid
Tarantula microbial
Mycorrhizae

I was half following a recipe half shooting from the hip on this one. The good news is that so far, the plants seem to really dig it.

Cheers :bigjoint:

I have a bottle from 2016.

You see, when they make the stuff. They make is so acidic the shelf life is way more then a month. It probably sat on a shelf or in a shipping box for over a year before you got it.

There's never really a time the stuff is 'fresh'.


Be super careful with the liquid fish. It'll drop PH below 4.5.

Hey, thanks for the response. You must have misread my post, I made it myself. I can see how it's never fresh, but was more wondering that because I made it that it may lack the acid etc. to preserve it.

In that case. Shelf life is a few hours before it starts to rot. Anything fish won't keep. I don't know what acid the Alaskan fish guys add to their stuff.

Well, I put phosphoric acid, I used it last week and this week and like I said, the plants are pretty stoked.

I'm not sure how much phosphoric acid they add, but it's a LOT. Neptune's harvest drops my PH quite a bit. Hard to say how long yours will last, but I'd wouldn't use a bottle of opened Neptune's Harvest past 6 months-that's just me though. Sealed it would last for years.

It’ll last for a while if it was prepared properly and then stored with a tight seal in a cool dark place. I would wanna use it up within a 6 month period tho.

im assuming you didn't ferment it for 6+ months?

you can of course play with all the different inputs but generally its
-thing(s) I want to ferment
-sugar

this is the KNF recipe below 1FC69890-24E2-46A7-AB4C-9298A4BACBF7.jpegEFBA1047-562A-4828-9819-03C3B43B0230.jpeg45209B6F-9E43-40F6-B943-494A3F05AEED.jpeg24BBF789-99C2-446B-8FF8-3ECD467B6D3C.jpeg3B84182E-1FCA-42D8-9D0D-F8D5D2571007.jpeg
Shelf life is until you finish it.

That's awesome, thanks for sharing your recipe, I really appreciate that. I think the way I did it should work, it doesn't smell offensive. So far I've just been using it in teas and aerating them for 24-48 hours because I figured it may still be a little hot. Thanks again, just the response I was looking for.:clap:
