Dont know myself but a few people on my allotment site store some and use next year. They have done for a long time and appear to get good results.
I have just used my last on the overwintering veggies and compost heap.(works well for me) Will start a fresh brew in the Spring

Might be worth getting it out of the cold for the winter?  Dunno if it would effect he chemical composition at al, it sure does for some organic chemicals, but even if not the bottles might break if they freeze!

I will stand it in polystyrene boxes in my shed, it is defo not coming into the house it smells far to much for home comforts over winter.

Don't use the stuff myself, but found this information for you, although you might wish I hadn't!  :nowink:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I keep mine in a water butt and try to use it within the season but there is usually some left for next year. Seems to still work  :)
There's more comfrey here than you can shake a stick at!

I  never finish the tea ( can't drink it in one session)by the end of the growing season so I always have some left. I use it in strict rotation using the oldest first!!
It all depends what you put into the ground, to what you get out
