CWE question.. using 20 norcos

[yo0123yo]

so im doing cwe for 25 norcos and i know how to do this, i've done it plenty of times, my question is, does the cwe have to stay cold after it has been filtered and ready to drink? for example im planning on maybe drinking half today and half tomorrow, will it be any less potent if it sits at room temperature or should it remain cold?

Once filtered it should be fine to store at room temp. the temp of the water only matters so that you can filter out the apap, ibu.

Be careful to use it not to long after you make it. Bacteria will start to grow.

Could a few drops of alcohol into the mixture help extend the shelf life? Maybe like 10 ml of some heavy alcohol with a proof of over 100 or 50% alcohol.

No. It will dilute and lose it's antibacterial property.

Interesting... I've found you can actually freeze a CWE, take it out in the morning to wherever you're going, and by the time you get to use them it'll be room temp and perfectly fresh. Only the one day though. I've left them for three days (even in an airtight container) and the whole lot was covered in purple bacterial cultures. Not touching that!
