  Exploring the Shelf-life, Brix, and ABV of Limoncello

  Posted by rhody o on July 23, 2019 at 9:03 pm

  Hi–

  Obviously the higher the alcohol and the higher the sugar, in general, I can expect a limoncello have a longer shelf-life. That said, I wondered if anyone had suggestions on where to find info on recommended minimums or other ways to manage expectations & quality. What people like about our recipe is that it’s not a sugar or alcohol bomb. I’m thinking of putting ” after opening refrigerate and use within xx months” on the label but I’m also wondering what the sealed shelf life might be. 

  Thanks!

  Hi @Rhody-O the answer to many of your questions are quite specific and will be up to you or a professional to determine.

  There is a much work that goes into creating a product that is shelf stable and determining the exact stability of it.

  my two cents is that if your product is not shelf stable for at least a year I would reccomend reformulating.
