Hello Dan! This was a very informative video. I appreciate you providing the knowledge and know-how regarding this precious substance. I know this video is 2 years old now, but would like to see more videos in the future! Thank you so much!
Great and informative video. I like to see more in the same style on tincturing different materials like Costusroot, Hyraceum, Propolis, Castoreum etc.
@DanRiegler Met you on Etsy while buying tincture, didn't know you were on RU-vid too!!! Please Please PLEASE do videos on your Raspberry Castoreum and - most importantly of all - your fabulous skunk tincture! I would be particularly interested to hear you speak about the ability of skunk to act as fixative and base in our perfumes the way (a very teeny amount of) civet does. No one else talks about this, please share whatever you know! Subscribed ... and thanks for being there for us.
Awsome. Thanks, Dan. Just made my first civet (from your shop) tincture ever. On the scent, I already feel a very present and beautiful honey note with an animalic background. Regards,
Thank you Dan for ur knowledge, we will be really thankful if u can shine some knowledge on how to make tincture from resin like frankincense, myrrah and benzoin. Thank you again and I putting an order soon this week. Sam from Australia
Thanks a lot for the video. Just ordered some sandalwood powder from your shop a few days ago! I've been thinking about what kind of container to use for my tinctures. I've got some empty aluminum cannisters laying around, but I see pretty much everyone using glassware like mason jars etc. I can't imagine it matters much, since I'm planning on storing them in a dark cabinet anyway, but maybe?
Hello, thank you Dan for this helpful content, i want to ask three question 1. I don't have orris root i have sandalwood powder so can i use this ? 2. In which ratio Sandalwood powder and civit should be used (equal) 3. We should filter it when its freezed but clear me about that should we freeze and filter it after 6 weeks or we should freeze and filter it immediately then let it age for 6 weeks ? Thanks
Why would you remove the material immediately??? It hasn’t had time to macerate in the material that’s common sense Dan shouldn’t have to clarify that…
I'd like to ask that after four to six weeks after, we need to put in the freezer for a day or two days then it will be frozen. does it mean that fats become congeal? or wait for melting to use the paper coffee filter?
Filter it cold. Soon after removing it from the freezer. The fat will congeal and almost crystalize. It will stay behind in the filter. I try to filter it while it is at its coldest. Don't wait for it to come to room temperature.
@@DanRiegler Very thanks for your kindly reply. I have one more question how to filter it after it is almost crystalized. when it become congeal then it is impossible to use paper filter so should I use another tool to separate the fat of civet?
