This is absolutely perfect. Thanks a lot, I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time.

I’ve wondered the same thing Paul, and I don’t have an answer. I’ve noticed that most of the jars I have been trying don’t seal very tightly, so I’ve been more curious about evaporation of the alcohol than anything with the sugar. I started making the VSV in smaller batches, and dumping it when it’s 1/2 or 2/3 spent (guess that would be ~2 weeks or so). It’s such an inexpensive additive I don’t feel bad doing that…

I wonder if Eric has noticed anything with the potency of the mix over time?

Jim,
Do you know if the vsv mixture has any “shelf-life” due to the sugar in the mixture. I was just wondering how long the mixture would be good for.

Espen – that certainly is a possibility. I have noticed the same thing on other areas of the tank, although not this particular rock, but it is true that I don’t have a “control” in the experiment (like Eric noted in his post, this wasn’t a highly scientific process). You’ve highlighted another thing for me to consider when doing further experimentation! Good thought, thanks for bringing that up.
