Kelp FPJ

Good Afternoon Drake, I have had some Kelp FPJ in my fridge for a while and it has completely solidified to a jelly like substance.  Is there anything i can do to fix that or should i just toss it because it maybe to old.  I am not home right now to see what the date is that i made it but let's guess around summer time July. Thank you

Hi Renoryan, It’s still good! Did you add too much sugar? Did you grow the kelp/harvest to make your FPJ, or use kelp power that was already processed? These inputs last up to 12 months+, once you’ve had like OHN for more than 1 year, you dilute it 1:2000 vs. 1:1000 (2ml per gallon) vs. (4ml per gallon) because it’s stronger/concentrated. FAA can take up to 6 months to make and can last over a year as well. -Jay

So I harvested the kelp from the ocean and once i got home i cut it up and weighed it.  I put the same amount of sugar by weight and let ferment for a week.  I then put a double paper towel on top so it can breathe and put it in the fridge.  It has formed into a solid gelatin.  How should I use it now that it's a gelatin like substance?   Jeff
