Reishi tincture - double extraction: % alcohol - % tea
    #22767579 - 01/11/16 08:26 PM (8 years, 1 month ago)

I've got a half gallon of reishi tincture (80 proof organic vodka), and half gallon of reishi tea. So I've extracted the triterpenoids and polysaccharides.

I want to know if there is enough alcohol content for me to mix them...

Would 6 parts alcohol, 4 parts water be enough for the tincture to keep?

You would have a mixture of 20% alcohol.  Wine keeps indefinitely at12%.

A bottle of wine keeps if it stays corked.
If you open and close it a few times (like you would taking daily doses of tincture) the wine gets vinegary in a day or two.

Here's something I just found with a quick search.-- "beers, wines, etc. with less than 12% alcohol content will “go off” very soon after being exposed to air, whilst a fortified wine such as sherry (17.5%) will survive a year or more after being unstoppered, and spirits, (34%+) may suffer from evaporation but not infection. For the majority of tinctures, an alcohol content of 25% is the accepted standard"

Thanks, @mycoloco and @foragedfungus.

Very helpful. I will shoot for 25%!
