How Do I Choose The Alcohol For My DIY Extract?

Extract with Grey Goose

 

Many of our at-home extract makers are not familiar with alcohol. Walking into a liquor store or the liquor section of a grocery store can be a bit overwhelming if you don't know what you're looking for or even what you're looking at. 

To help, we've made a chart with all of the various spirits that we have seen used for extract making. We have included a cost guide as well as a recommendation as to whether or not it will be a good spirit to use for extract making. Our recommendation is based on our own experience, or reviews we have seen from our extract making pros in our extract making Facebook group or other social media groups that we operate.

You can easily download and print this chart by clicking here. Then you can write on it and take it with you to the liquor store as a "cheat sheet" to help you begin. 

We also have other tutorials about alcohol on our site which you can easily find through our extract-making guide center, found here

Here is a sample of the chart:
