How long will it keep for in the fridge ?

PH matters but I have had it last 6 months easy

^This^. Also, how long has that forgotten bottle of Tabasco been in your fridge or counter? With the low enough pH, I think we are talking years, not months.

I do the same thing but add a few garlic cloves too. It's a good way to keep peppers if you don't have enough of any single type of bepper but do have a few of each kind. Any combination works. A spoonful on your eggs, ramen, soup, stew, anything.

It should last up to 6 mths. I tried doing the same to some 7 pot yellows and the vinegar flavor is too strong.

You can use some water also or a better vinegar. Never use white distilled that is not marked for cooking use or "Premium," the cheap stuff usually in plastic bottles is a petroleum product mainly used for cleaning but some people buy that for food.
 
Try rice wine for a mild white.

Pepper vinegar can last for years on the shelf. Ive got a bottle of mild pepper vinegar well over 5 years old and the flavor is incredible. Way back in the mid 1800s, that was common in the beginning. Just peppers, vinegar and maybe some salt. Its more or less how hot sauce and Avery island (Tabasco) got its start but back then is was medicinal before becoming culinary.
