I've just kept it in my fridge which typically holds around 37F/3C. Seems to be viable even 4 years past the "best by" date.

I know linuxboy's said that PC solution keeps pretty much indefinitely at fridge temps.

I don't know about PC or PR, but I can attest that mold keeps pretty much indefinitely at shower temps. :)

I think the recommendation is to store the liquid moulds at -18 until opened then leave it in the fridge.  Thats what Ive always done and never had any issues with viability.  NV

Totally agree, including the B Linens strains...   :-[

Just ordered some and plan on keeping them in my drinks fridge at 35° F so we'll see how that works out.
