I wonder if some of the nic that has a very noticeable color change in the bottles I've been taking pictures of would still look "water clear" in a dropper due to the dropper having a much smaller cross-section of liquid in it than my clear bottles?
Unfortunately, I would have to open at least one of the bottles to find out, and that would ruin the design of the experiment I'm conducting.
Have you looked down in the bottle using a bright light?
I'm contemplating doing the transfer to 8oz glass today. I've put it off for 9 months. It's time to freeze it. I can't look into it because I only punched the center of the seal to get a dropper in and out. My rationalization was that a tip over would be mostly contained if I left the seal intact on top. So far, that hasn't happened and the hydraulic pressure might break the seal anyway.
ETA: I'm still contemplating the best method for transfer. Getting down into the bottom of a liter bottle with a syringe would require longer 14ga needles than the 4" ones I have. I thought about a pump, but that could be messy.
I may just pour the liters one at a time into a disposable container once the 14ga needle won't reach the lower part of the bottle and go from there. A mason jar would suffice at that point. A 100ml syringe would be simple and easy.
