Inside the tin, the powder is in a sealed silver bag with a really long neck. What do you do with yours? Do you cut off just the top sliver and use a long spoon to dip in, and then curl the bag around itself and put it back? Do you cut off most of the neck of the bag so the powder is easy to reach? Or do you dump it in the tin and throw away the bag?

chuft I dump it in the tin. I gotta make stuff easy for myself or it’s just another barrier to ever doing it. I store the tin in the fridge, though.Note

Ah good idea. Although when you take it out I guess you have to be quick, since cold stuff attracts condensation and I wouldn't want it getting wet.l i t t l es t e p h e r sNote

Yeah the room condensation thing seems to be an issue. You aren't supposed to take it out and open it right away, it has to warm up.

Some tests someone did

Weirdly part 2 comes a year before part 1. Peculiar. He concluded room temp and freezer were both better for storage in one test, but in another it seems the fridge one was less bitter. I guess it depends on whether you like bitterness.

Reddit people seem to like refrigerating it and it seems to be a common practice. On the other hand, clearly it did not arise this way in the 1500's and is a new, technology based thing.
