Steeping for weeks....where?

[Joie]

When you set your recipes aside to steep....where do you do this and do you leave the lids off all that time ?

 

[bnrkwest]

I leave lids on and put them in a box bnrk

Steeping is lid on. Airing or Breathing is lid off.

Where? Just about anywhere...until the wife moves them then it is elsewhere.

I just put them in the garage, in an open box. Bottles closed
I just have to open the living room/kitchen door to grab em, so don't have to go that far

I steep them on my desk lid on (lid off leads to oxidation of the nicotine). When the colour starts to change after a week or so because they are exposed to light, they then go in my stash drawer.

I cleaned out a shelf in one of my kitchen cabinets and keep them in there, on one of these little stair-step things: Copco Non-Skid Cabinet Organizer - Bed Bath & Beyond Things that are steeping go on the top "step" and get to move down to the bottom when they're ready to use. I also tried this with my flavors, but...sigh...they've overtaken one of those organizers. I think they're multiplying while my back is turned! I need more room, a lot more room, for those now.

Ya didn't buy the rabbit brand did ya?

LOL! Yes, yes I'm afraid that I did, Switched. Why didn't you warn me? Oh wait...that wasn't you in line behind me, was it?

For a quick steep I place my newly made juice bottles in side of a folded over heating pad for an hour, then shake vigorously let air for an hour and repeat the process several times, then at night I leave the bottle uncapped. By morning time my juice tastes fantastic.
