Re: *ed* Re: TINCTURING..Short questions
Hi niteblume,
Nope, not all us chickens are in bed lol, I'm a night gal like you but I'm trying to get back on a schedule because I've gone back to work and going to bed at 2 or 3 or 4 in the morning just doesn't make for a good awake day! ;) I'm headed to bed as soon as I post this.
Alcohol is a solvent so a tiny amount of something from that plastic bottle will be there but I wouldn't worry too much about it. I know Uny buys her Vodka in the fifth size because that size is in a glass bottle. She sells her tinctures so she doesn't want to use the plastic. I buy mine in 1/2 gallon bottles, the 1/2 gallon size doesn't come in glass. I figure that it is such a tiny amount that I'm not worried about it at all and it's just for my use so I don't have to worry about anybody else.
Yeah, I'd use the 1/2" mouth jars for the finished tincture lol, you'd have huge problems if you used them to make the tincture in. I use the wide mouth jars because it's so easy to get the herbs out of the big opening.
Don't worry about it being 3 or 4 days late because after all you're just kinda testing the waters this first time. Your tincture will be FANTASTIC!
Abundant blessings,
Willow
