I too made some with everclear, vodka, rum, scotch wiskey, and cherry flavored vodka. My oldest batch right now is sitting at almost three months old. Did you ever add distilled water to it? If so, at what point in the "brewing" process?<br /><br />Thanks!Miss Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141554321148142291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920249341578879416.post-78990226410077984652012-09-24T13:50:35.459-06:002012-09-24T13:50:35.459-06:00Umm....

I would LOVE to try this, but I live in a dry village, meaning it is illegal for me to bring vodka or anything else here - but if you sent me something from that part I skipped about Christmas presents???....Katie Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03711548467567739621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920249341578879416.post-13864644893834309952012-09-22T17:51:16.144-06:002012-09-22T17:51:16.144-06:00Hi Carla!

Funny story: when I was telling my mom I was going to make my own vanilla, she was a little weirded out at first because I was going to use alcohol to make it, then I panicked thinking I must be making it all wrong, then after I researched it, that is how they make ALL extracts, so I can't make it any weirder than what they already sell, ha-ha :0)Carla @ Our Journey to Self Reliancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439970130981458268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920249341578879416.post-86436846305816363632012-08-10T01:11:39.847-06:002012-08-10T01:11:39.847-06:00That is our intent with some of this, but it is so...That is our intent with some of this, but it is so good, I can see why your sister maybe didn't pass it on, lol!

I meant to save a few to try that, but had just enough for the giveaway. :0) Thanks for sharing our journey!!Carla @ Our Journey to Self Reliancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439970130981458268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920249341578879416.post-73623772711791745442012-08-10T01:05:15.044-06:002012-08-10T01:05:15.044-06:00Thanks for checking us out!!

I think my sister did it, she also intended to give as Christmas gifts, but I never received a bottle. That makes me wonder what happened with her plan.Actuary Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03771931973962944137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920249341578879416.post-38558287584364230472012-07-18T09:41:10.434-06:002012-07-18T09:41:10.434-06:00I have been wanting to try making my own vanilla. ...I have been wanting to try making my own vanilla. I am glad you did the leg work on testing the different kinds of alcohol for me!<br />I have just recently started the No Poo method of washing my hair, and so far it is turning out pretty well! I am soooo glad to be getting away from all the chemicals. (also it is nice that if I didn't make it to the shower one day my hair is not really greasy the next... )<br />Let's see, what do I want to try to do/learn more about... jerky making! I love good home made jerky. That is on my to learn list.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071063718335671366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920249341578879416.post-8848815619899914802012-07-18T09:06:44.732-06:002012-07-18T09:06:44.732-06:00Very interesting....and funny.
