noting the comments about the shelf life and pump not working, why not freeze part and move the rest to a smaller container?

I drink mine before the shelf life is over, and pump works fine if you use it a lot. I drink about one mocha a day which is not enough and I live in a very cold environment. There is a possibility of the consistency to separate after freezing, kind of like chocolate turns grey and doesn't quite taste the same.

I use mine about 3-4 times a week, this is my second container and I never had a problem with the pump. I also finish mine before the shelf life.

The shelf life is indefinite. It is inert and refrigeration would not add or detract from it's shelf life.

We only have ours hooked up to the freezer, I assume you would need to buy another unit!

At least make sure that there is ample ventilation in the location around your freezer. For the one in my motorhome, I install one of those 4" computer fan through the wall of the compartment, then I monitored the compressor run time during hot days when in Southern Texas and there is not much difference than on cooler days. Change of air around the cooling coil at the back and compressor will ensure that your freezer will last a normal life.

My nearly decade old unit came only with a container slightly smaller than a gallon. The rest of the gallon of water could be poured into the unit to chill. I do not know about this newer unit.

I never thought about freezer usage but I guess it would be possible. As with any product I would check with the manufacturers recondmendations.

Sorry, we never had enough left to try to freeze. I wouldn't put mine in the freezer. It will stay in the fridge about 20 days - so why would you want to freeze ?

Based on my usage of the product I would think it could be as long as the surface is clean and dry. I don't think it would be best to use the product if it was frozen. However, I think you would be well advised to contact the manufacturer. This stuff isn't cheap and if you didn't get a perfect seal, a little water leaking in over time, will cause the most damage.

I would think in the freezer in zip locks would be the way to store them. A deep freeze would be even better than the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.

I store mine on the shelf. I'm not sure how it would respond in the refrigerator.

I solved that problem by putting the maker in the freezer overnight. Don't know why that worked, but it did--the low temperature broke the vacuum seal(?)

Have you kept it in the refrigerator? Personally I think if you've had it that long I wouldn't trust it in my tank. It's inexpensive where as your tank inhabitants is not. Toss it and get a new bottle would be my advice

Did you pour the mixture in while the machine was on? If so, they shouldn't have froze.

Really not sure,but all I can think off is that maybe your freezer is not turned down cold enough.

I assume you're asking about storage when it is not hot enough to be needed. Keep it in the freezer, will stop mildew and bacteria.

I keep my Ener-G Baking Soda in the freezer in a moisture-proof container so I don't have to worry about shelf life. This works for me, since I use the product only a few times a month.

That is a great idea, but I don't know the reaction of the properties in a freezer. Perhaps that is a question for the manufacturer?
