I think I have decided I don't want half gallon jars for tincturing. What do you think of this reasoning?... If I use quarts, when I blend them I can pour the whole thing in my blender and then back into the same jar. If it is in a half gallon, only half will be able to be poured into blender and you would have to pour it into something else and that would be a lot more trouble. Your blender/vitamix may be bigger.
