Now I have another, unrelated question. I have gentian root extract rather than powder. Anybody know how much of that would be equivalent to 1/4 tbs powdered? Hmm.

But now that I know I'm left with additional questions... After I peel the grapefruits/lemon, am I supposed to put just the fruit in? Just the twists? Both? Is it really important to use the channel knife, or can I just peel them with my hands and chop the peels up? If the fruit is going in, am I supposed to slice and/or crush them? Or should they be steeped whole? Not knowing what a channel knife was I went and read your article on the subject. But now that I know I’m left with additional questions…

Do you think it would be possible to make bitters by creating everclear infusions of key ingredients and then mixing them in small quantities to make it easier/faster to taste test what the outcome will be like? I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to experiment that doesn't take years and leave me with gallons of bitters that I decide I don't care for. Also, I have a difficult time determining what the impact of adding certain ingredients will be. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. Thanks!
