, I have been soaping for awhile now. When I first started soaping you

could still buy everclear here in Pa. It has since been outlawed here but I

was told it was available in New York State at one time. Whether it is or

not, I'm not positive. I would check a package store..is that what they are

called there???...The type of place where you can buy whiskey. Everclear is

also known as PURE GRAIN ALCOHOL. In Pennsylvania it was sold as PURE GRAIN

ALCOHOL....and not EVERCLEAR...I think that might be a southern term for it.

In other words...about the same as....MOONSHINE...I AM SAYING ABOUT>>>> THE

SAME.....Real confusing stuff. BUT....DO NOT USE MOONSHINE!!!!! You can never

be sure of the alcohol content!!!!!!!!! EVER...CLEAR AS MUD....RIGHT?????

LOL!!!!! Good Luck in your search & Happy soaping!!!!! Debbie Z. in Pa.

You're wrong about Florida. We can get 153 proof Everclear, just not the

190+ version.

The good stuff CAN be purchased in Georgia. I take a trip there whenever

I run short.

Blessings to all,

Well dang, learn something new everyday. I always thought if they can sell

vodka they would sell grain alcohol. Oh well, thats what I get for thinking

LOL.

Thanks for that tidbit of info.

Depends upon where you live.

Some states, like here in California, you can not get it at all.

Some states, you need a special license.

Some states sell it in the liquor department.

All depends upon where you live,

Yeah, I've been trying to find some here in California, also, with no luck.

Just did a quick search and found some sites that sell it on-line.....but

they can't ship to California. Must not be legal here. I know they carry

it in Texas. I've had great luck using it for room sprays cuz it's

odorless and dissolves the eo's. Right now I'd like to make some herbal

tinctures with it, something I've never done.

Hi Christy:

Do you live anywhere near the border to Mexico? When I lived in San Diego,

I had to go to Tijuana to get grain alcohol, but the nice thing was it was

cheap down there! ;-)

For herb tinctures, vodka will work fine, just use dried herbs and enough

vodka to cover them and steep 1-2 weeks in a closed container....strain and

repeat using fresh dried herbs if desired.

The trick to using vodka when mixing essential oils is use the strongest you

can find (100 proof is only 50% alcohol, the rest is water), and adding the

e.o.'s drop by drop, mixing thoroughly in between. Don't add any water to

this, like I said, its already at least half water, and adding more is

asking for trouble...

There might be some separation, even after all that...if so, pack a paper

coffee filter with unscented talc or magnesia and slowly pour the liquid

into it, letting it drip into another container (dont wring out the filter).

Let the liquid settle, and decant off the clear portion.

Thanks for the tips, Cat! I'm in " North County " , so, yeah, not that far

from the border. I'd not even thought of that, what a great idea. My

thought was to have my folks pick up some next time they go to Vegas.

I'm very jazzed about the tinctures. Will I be ok on preservation as long

as the herbs are completely dried??

Everclear is pure grain alcohol. It is 190 proof, so nearly 100% alcohol.

Tasteless, odorless, and very flamable!! When in H.S., I remember

kids talking about spiking punches with it. Works great for dissolving

eo's in. Can't say I'd ever want to DRINK it, though.

Hi Donna,

The complete discussion on Everclear began with Lana's msg. on 2/3/02...if you

go to the website and begin with that msg., you'll catch up on all the

discussion of it. Just look for Everclear in the subject.

I do hate to be a bother, but I have just joined, and I would like to

know what you are talking about?? Vodka~Everclear, is It a receipt for

a new type of soap if so I would like to know about, I have been

making soap, and soap products for years, I even drip my own lye.

Donna

[Guest guest]

Does the Everclear work better than the vodka?? I'm just getting started

with perfumes and such, and need to know which is better.

Thanks!!

One reason some places may not sell it is because young ones have been known

to mix it with jello-call it jello shots, due to the very high alcohol level

in Everclear-this has resulted in several deaths due to alcohol poisioning.

They don't realize how much they are consuming and/or doing a lot of

(sometimes underaged) drinking due to peer pressure!

well then where does one buy everclear i.e. grain alcohol if it's against the

law to sell like my state?

It would be my first choice for room sprays because it has so little water

content, the oils dissolve very well. Plus, it doesn't have an odor of it's

like, like vodka does.

Hi Christy;

I also live in California and we cannot buy any alcohol for consumption any

stronger than 100 proof. Which is Seagram's brand Vodka.

But I get my grain alcohol from a chemical company that is located in

Burbank, CA. They ship it by mail. In fact I got an order in from them a few

weeks ago. They sell everything that you need to make any kinds of

toiletries and most everything else also. Their web site is:

www.tri-esssciences.com

Hope this helps you;

Blessings;

very name. Dont know how much they cut it down as I am sure its not the same

strength it was from the still........if it was you could more than likely

launch a space shuttle with it LOL
