The enemies of juice are light and air. So always store away from daylight, preferably in dark containers.

Split the large volume into a number of small containers (say 100ml to 200ml) filling right to the brim and seal tight. Keep cool too. Then when begin using one of these, again split into a number of smaller containers.

juice that is going bad (oxidised) will get darker. Not a health hazard, afaik, but will give less nic hit and poorer taste. Using the split and split-again method, should be good for a year or two.

Glass/ceramic best for the larger, longer term storage. Plastic is ok for the smallest bottles (current use).

When pouring from one container to another, do so as smoothly as possible, with bubbling and churning; this is important. So pour in the receiver at an angle; don't use a funnel, at least straight down, as it can churn up the juice.

Rinse well everything after.

ps: Vits C and E don't taste bad, and those are the ones usually used as preservatives.

Kinabaloo, thanks for the tips! But I don't get why is the smooth pouring important. What exactly is a churned juice? Is that something irreversible?

I think he is just saying to make a conscious effort when pouring to NOT aerate the liquid.

Churned = bubbles in the liquid.

It's like when pouring a beer, say from one glass to another - if not done slowly and smoothly it will froth because it gets mixed with air. We need to prevent air getting dissolved in the juice at this stage.
