2/24/2004 -- What is the difference between sugar an glycerin ?
Is it used as a sugar substuite ?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Glycerin is a commercial product whose principal component is glycerol. Glycerin is a trihydric alcohol that is derived from animal fats and plants emollients.
Glycerol (CH2OH.CHOH.CH2OH), in its pure form, is a sweet-tasting, clear, colorless, odorless, viscous liquid. It is completely soluble in water and alcohols. It is perceived as about 50-75% as sweet as sugar, but it is NOT as sugar. Chemically, they are quite different.
Glycerine is sometimes used as a mild sweetener in medicines, but is not generally regarded as a sugar substitute. It is more of a solvent or "carrier" for other sugars and flavors.
1/18/2004 -- How many ounces does each bottle of formula contain , and what is the usage amount(ounces) per 750ml bottle of liqueur? Thank you.
Response From Homebrew Heaven: The bottle contains 4 oz...maybe 10-12 tablespoons?
For a 750 mL bottle of liqueur, use about 1.5 tablespoons.
12/12/2003 -- The glycerine I find in super markets states on the label: "If this product is ingested internally, contact a Poison Control Center immediately." Is this the same kind of glycerine? Where do I find the proper kind of glycerine?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Right here:

8/13/2003 -- WHAT IS THE EXPECTED PRICE TO GET STARTED FOR EQUIPMENT ON MAKING THE LIQUEURS?
DOES IT INVOLVED HAVE COMPLETE SET UPS LIKE IN MAKING WINE?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: No, most home liquers are not "brewed" at all, but are simply "infused" with alcohol (usually vodka or brandy) from the local liquor store. Only simple kitchen utinsels are necessary (jars, wood spoon, measuring cups etc). Therefore the only costs are for the ingredients like fruit, herbs, flavorings and liquor. We also have flavorings (essence) that you simply add (along with sugar) to vodka-like spirits to create "instant" liqueurs.
For gifts, it's nice to put your liqueurs into fancy bottles however, and apply your own custom labels!
