(II) Notes

(1) Alcohol content: The best choice for preparing medicinal liquor is high-quality pure grain liquor with an alcohol content of 50-60%. From the analysis of Chinese medicinal materials, whether Chinese herbal medicine or animal medicinal materials, they all contain water and more or less bacteria and germs. Only a slightly higher alcohol content can kill bacteria and germs. In addition, the seepage of water from medicinal materials will dilute the alcohol content, so it is appropriate to choose a liquor with a higher alcohol content. However, low alcohol content is not conducive to the dissolution of effective ingredients in Chinese medicinal materials, thus affecting the treatment and health care effects. Finally, from the perspective of shelf life, low-alcohol liquor, coupled with the dilution of medicinal materials, has too high a water content, which is not conducive to long-term preservation. In addition, as wine is stored over time, its alcohol content will decrease. Therefore, it is better to use 50-60 degree wine for soaking.

(2) It is not easy to choose plastic barrels for wine: There are many large plastic barrels for wine on the market, especially for strong liquor, which is actually very bad. You must choose ceramic jars or glass bottles to store wine. Remember not to use PET plastic barrels. Wine is corrosive, especially strong liquor. If it is in contact with plastic barrels for a long time, the liquor will corrode the plastic and easily blend into some components of the plastic barrel. For safety reasons, it is best not to use plastic barrels for wine soaking.

(3) (Before soaking in wine, use an alcohol lamp to burn off the coarse hair on the outside. After washing the antlers with boiled cold water or alcohol, you can soak in wine. Remember not to rinse them directly with tap water before soaking in wine)
