Kinda a brewing topic.....
How long can I expect to keep tinctures?
Currently I have two; one mint and a habanero. Both were made with cheap vodka and both have been filtered off the mint leaves and habaneros.
Usually I make a small amount like a cup or so. This time around I made larger batches of about a quart each.
The habanero has already been used in a few meads and ciders. The mint tincture will probably be used in a porter or stout.
What's the shelf life?
Do I need to worry about headspace in the mason jars?
Thank you kind gentlemen and ladies.
