Safely storing 37% HCL

Really appreciate being here.  Thanks.  I have a tremor so my wife just finished diluting 37% HCL to 4% for me.  Part of what I am working on healing are GI issues so I wanted to work with HCL. The 1 liter of 37% came in a plastic bottle from Stellar Labs.  Now I would like to store it safely.  We don't have children so that's not an issue.  It does freeze here so outside or in a shed might not be a good idea.  Would appreciate any suggestions.

Strong HCL can be tricky to store safely. I had a small amount of 37% HCL in a glass bottle and that bottle was inside a larger plastic bottle. That HCL managed to escape from both bottles and caused a lot of damage. I no longer use HCL. If I have to use a liquid acid, I use much safer phosphoric acid. 

I mainly use CDS and use citric acid when making CDS. Citric acid does not gas into CDS like HCL will do. I think you get my point that I do not like HCL. 

My suggestion would be to not store HCL inside a living space. Not sure if freezing would be a problem. You could search out that info on the internet. 

Thanks that is really helpful.  I do have it in a living space so got to get it out of there.  Yes freezing is a problem.  I want to continue with HCL for now so maybe I'll put it in the crawl space with a dirt floor.  

37% Hydrochloric acid freezes at around -50F. S if it doesn't get that cold just put the container outside somewhere safe in a 5 gallon bucket with a tight lid on it

Thank you. It was in the single digits here this morning. I like your 5 gallon bucket idea though. I will use that in the crawl space. I wouldn't want the mice chewing on it.

I have had HCL in 5 gallon buckets in storage over the years . I know that if there is a leak surrounding metal will rust and I have never encountered that. I wouldn't worry too much about mice. There needs to be some yummy odor coming from whatever they are looking into pretty much, in my experience
