mushroom tincture froze...still good?

made some strong mushroom tincture earlier this year. 1ml = 1 gm dry. made with everclear 151 (70% alcohol)
friend tried 2ml couple months ago and gave it a big thumbs up. i haven't been able to try it because i have developed a serious physical condition and am committed to daily physical therapy for the next few months.
i went out of town recently, and when i returned i pulled it out of the freezer to check on it and noticed it was frozen?! since then, i have kept it in the cool dark basement where it remains a liquid. however, i have noticed the liquid has turned a bit darker than it was when i originally made it. smells the same. still good?...
has it lost potency? will it last a while outside of the freezer as long as it's in the cool, dark basement?...

people freeze mush tea so I think it would be ok. I dont know about it being in alcohol. 151 freezing seems unlikely. Jack, Brandy, Tequila and vodka all live in my freezer and have never froze. Those are all 40% compared to 75%. As the temp of the 151 dropped so did its saturation point. It may not have froze. The actives may have dropped out. Similiar to freezing naptha to make DMT precipitate out.

It froze because when you evaporated the alcohol out to concentrate your extract, you were left with more water than alcohol. I would personally keep it in the freezer as you wouldn't want it to mold. Even if it freezes though it should still be good. People freeze dry mushies and tea all the time.

kief ledger...makes PERFECT sense. thank you. will keep it in the freezer. if it freezes again, i will just let it become liquid again once it is ready to be consumed. what do you think about the darkening of the color?...
