Storing Distillate

Help Support and Requests

What are you guys using for final storage/sale of your distillate? Vacuumed mason jars? Media bottles? Beer fermentation jars? Trying to prevent oxidation in the container without breaking the bank.

Thanks

Nitrogen gas is a great way to store it and also keeping in under vacuum is another excellent idea to keep the color bodies down

Really? Never heard of Parafilm? Stuff is pretty ubiquitous in laboratories…

Displace the air in the flask with inert gas, pour warm, and avoid bubbles.

Is it as easy as blasting nitrogen in there while quickly closing the lid?

Yes, just don’t shoot hard. Just flood the surface.

What about putting it in a freezer. Does that help?

You can pasteurize on a hot plate before storage to help with shelf life as well.
