Turns out you can easily store this stuff fore months in the fridge after opening the bottle!

I'd figured about a month, so that's good. Thanks for the quick reply! :)

I am not sure, it is my first try. I hope that the high level of ~5% of acidity of the vinegar which is the main ingredient will allow keeping it in the fridge for several weeks or even some months.
