Not sure where to ask this so feel free to move to the right place if needs be.
I'm pretty new to the use of botanicals but have really fallen in love with what they can bring to a tank and blackwater tanks in general. Up until now I've only used locally collected stuff but have just taken delivery of some slightly more exotic stuff which is currently boiling away on the hob. The tannin stained water seems like such a waste to tip away so is there any reason why this can't be used as blackwater "extract"? If so, how long would it keep for?
