        Is there a chart available anywhere that lists the herbs and what % alcohol/vinegar/water is best for each? :poke:

          Yes, there are many out there on the net. We have simplified it by using 80 or 100 proof for anything that is not resinous. We then use 190 proof for those. Makes it a LOT easier to figure out.

            There are wonderful charts all over the internet. If you look around you can find one that says exactly what you want it to say. LOL

            As Steven said, gummy, resinous oily stuff gets Everclear, otherwise use vodka. Life is too short for anything more complicated than that. 🙂

            Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
