Keep it like that and it should last 6 months at least....however come the summer how hot does your shed get? If it heats then the ingredients will oxides quickly.

Play it by smell and sight, if it smells fine and looks fine then it will be fine. I'm in a similar sitaution, I make my method mix up from at the mo 2 year old dry ingredients, including fish base, no issues at all.
