refrigerated 6 month old Aya

Migrated topic.
I had some strong black vine brew in the fridge for a month or so once, it turned, and mold/bacteria/something grew inside it. This was after sterilizing a glass bottle (12oz canada dry ginger ale, plastic soda cap) by submersion in boiling water for 5 min, then boiling my brew hard, then a quick microwave boil after i bottled it. Let it cool, then threw it in the fridge and forgot about it.

A month or so later, i was going to drink some with a mushroom chocolate i was gifted, and it smelled awful, and had floating chunks of whatever the hell that stuff was. Down the drain it went. I was pretty cheezed too, worked hard (3 day crock pot brew/reduction) and it was a few strong doses of caapi, was filtered 3x with a buchner funnel, real good brew/vine wasted.

Long story short, freeze it. Its too easy, rather than risk it turning/going bad in the fridge.
 
No expert here but...
Frozen should last a very long time! Years.
Fridge weeks months, but not as long as freezer.

Might also be how you brew it. If there is vinigar then it will preserve it like pickling.
 
I've had it last around 4 months in a cold fridge fine. But i've also had it turn before after about that same time (mold forming on the lid).

Freeze it

If you don't freeze it, just reboil it for a few minutes once a month
