Oops! I meant 98% alcohol. they could make it two hundred proof, however the minute you open the bottle, it turns to 98%. Thanks for clarifying that @Bruce.

One whiff of that and we'd be out cold!

Would rubbing alcohol work as a cheaper alternative? I think you can get some decently strong stuff as opposed to the weaker stuff I use for window cleaning, bug killing, and sterilizing. Although it does evaporate fast too.

Obviously - never heard of Everclear. Not a Vodka name I see here....well, don't go to ABC store often.

You can use rubbing alcohol. It's pretty cheap at Dollar General and they carry 100. That's prob what I will work with for first batch anyway. The animals don't need Vodka Plus, might evaporate on them better, with oils left to protect. My first batch I plan to be small and no other "stuff" added as I want to see just how effective it is, as is. Then, might go with add ins. The salve may actually work well, last longer on say, ears, throat, etc. Places they won't rub off as fast & yet give an aura to ward of pests, longer.

Hey, if you love your animals don't they deserve the very best alcohol??

If that's the case, you'll have to make it with Bailey's.

Oh, Mini is HIGH class!
Assuming she meant Dom Perignon, if she meant the former president of Argentina then I don't know what to think

Yeah -- THAT! Never bought it, can't spell it, sure can't afford it!

Instead of bug sprays -- I'm currently making elderberry juice. 1/2 gal done, doing 2nd pot now...about the same. Almost cried when I had to put the WHITE flour sack cloth in to strain it. Needless to say, it isn't white now. And my shirt isn't just gray now...This is a lovely purple juice

First of week I MAY pick more...being old and cheap is a lot of work! Much easier to milk those goats!

Devon & Bay didn't elaborate on how much work this is! I'd have to get $100 a pint to make it worth while.
