Can someone tell me how long it will last once fully made up in water? I was thinking a couple of days? Please excuse me, I am back on DIY which I haven't done for some yrs!

It really depends on the weather - if it's hot, I usually get a couple of days, but in this weather usually lasts 3-4 days min

As chimp2000 says, in cold winter weather, you can make up a bucketful, cover it and it should last 3 - 4 days. In hot weather, it will start to ferment after just a day or two. The trick is to work out how much you need in summer weather then only make up titchy amounts each day.

I wouldn't make more than 4 days worth

I only feed one horse on it so make his evening feed batch up in the morning and his morning batch up the previous evening. That way, there is no waste and it is fresh every time!

Thanks everyone. I made some up on Monday (far too much as only for my 1 horse who has 1/2 scoop x twice day). I used it up until today and now I have ditched it. Do you think 1/2 a regular dry scoop plus water would make up enough for 1 heaped scoop a day? I like it to be really sloppy.
In the summer I will probably put it in the fridge which we have in our feedroom.
