Neem cake tea

Just wondering if I can store Neem cake tea? Meaning I brew 1/2 cup of Neem and 1/2 cup Karanja in a gallon of water but I was told to dilute it so I mixed some into a gallon of pure water now I have some tea left over can I store it in a cool place or I have to use it right away?? Worried about fermentation?

What my mentors taught me was, once that you pull the oxygen out, things will go bad real fast. Aered Compost Teas needs to be used right away (within hours) and can't be stored (even when it's cooled) or it will go anaerobic.

If you haven't have it already, here is the famous ACT guide written by Microbeman.

Btw: I don't see the point why you had to dilute your tea after you finished brewing it.

Thanks a lot Cvh. Yes I thought the same thing I shouldn’t need to dilute it it’s not the oil just a brewed tea. Also thanks for that link I have not read it. I’m on my second cycle of no till. It’s all been good except I let my guard down after the first harvest and I got fungus gnat infestation and then I realized I had Thrips. The thrips are gone now the fungus gnats almost so now I’m looking for tried and true IPM. I’m doing the Cornell mix AKA Clackamas Coot. I’ve read Neem is a good IPM tool once a week but I mostly read on the oil not so much the tea from the Neem cake. Are there threads or post you guys can recommend to read? Thanks in advance really like all the info here.
