Extraction for RSO/CCO:
I stopped at liquor warehouse I use for stocking up on my spirytus for extraction to re-up yesterday. Up until this year they always just carried them in 750ml size for 19.99 or so. When I looked yesterday they had the 1/2ga versions on display right next to the Everclear in same sizes. Price is up to $24 for the 750ml and $53 for the 1/2 gallon handle version whereas everclear was only $35 for a handle. I still bought a couple handles of spirytus but also a couple handles of everclear to cut costs a little. I mean how much of a difference can there really be between a 95% variety and a 96% one. My reasoning in past was that Spirytus is considered food grade and would be safer if any residuals hadn’t been evaporated but I’ve made with both and never had an ill effects from it so I’m rethinking my strategy and most likely switching to everclear going forward.
