vacuum pump and rubber cork

[Guest guest]

I was reading that its best to store herbal oils in amber glass and

to fill the bottle as much as possible to better the chances of it

NOT going rancid from exposure to air.

This morning I started washing out a collection of amber glass beer

bottles for making some soda pop later. It occured to me that our

wine vacuum pump's rubber cork would fit into the 12 ounce beer

bottles. I tried and it did.

ok :-)

Has anyone here tried bottling their tinctures and oils in amber

glass wine or beer bottles?

Wouldn't using the vacuum pump to remove air from the bottle mean

that as one dispensed the oil into smaller bottles one could continue

to use the larger (wine or beer) bottle for storage of the bulk of

oil?

Everytime one took a small amount out the rubber stopper could be

put back in and the air pumped out of the bottle with the manual

vacuum tool.

They store oils in a gallon jug at school. Now I'm wondering if

there's a vacuum pump and rubber cork that would fit that size

as well.

Am I being foolish?

who it takes the whole of a week for her husband and her to make it

through a theraputic bottle of red wine and really likes how this

tool keeps that one bottle of wine fresh all week
