Answer is simple an open package for that period of time is an anomaly in the real world but you can always put directions on label to seal container tightly after each use if you have concerns.

stearic acid is usually used as neutralized emulsifier in lotions and if this is the case,the answer is no.stearine, is a triglyceride composed of three stearic acid units/unit of glycerin and an oil which has to be saponified to yield stearic acid and glycerine.Sometimes SA is called stearin (no e) and in this case both are synonomous.

There is nothing special about it beyond it’s story. Any chemical benefit you can get from hops can be achieved in a superior way using an alternative (probably synthetic) compound.”

Your problem is most likely due to air and foam:in addition cellulosics like HEC form a film at the foam /air interface making the problem more difficult.Try making a stock solution of HEC and adding sub-surface during cool down.
