I just made 2 batches. I had strained out th efirst and though, why not use this to make another batch now? So, I put more overproof in there and made a second round. Worked fine and now I have a nice full bottle that will ast a while.

Update on making a double batch with the same stock.

My assumption was that I needed to let it steep longer as maybe the flavor was out of the stuff on the second batch. I the opposite is true! I just made the first cocktails with the new stuff last night and it was totally dominate! I made a Jet Pilot and it was just Falernum. So, I think the truth is, once that mix of stuff was saturated, it was primed to give flavor and I should have steeped it less and not more.

I am going to try halving the Falernum in a recipe and see if that works. I may have to toss this stuff actually. It may be unworkable...
