I will bottle mine off in milk jugs and refrigerate for a few days unsure if it's good or not but that's what I do.

4 hours is a good general rule from when you take it out of the brewer until application. I always try and use it right after taking it from the brewer.

If you think about it, it makes sense. You've just brewed a bunch of aerobic microorganisms that require a huge amount of oxygen. When you take away that oxygen, they will start to die and anaerobic organisms will begin to dominate the brew over time (hence the stinky smell).

Tad, if not using all of the original brew...could you keep oxygen going & use the leftovers the next day? Peace, Wayne
