After having used some embrocation from Mad Alchemy, Erich and I had made mention of possibly trying to make some of our own. It was a relatively fleeting thought, but as we did some more research on the process and possible recipes, it became apparent that we could give it a shot. Our first attempt at making a batch was today, after having done some shopping around, and it came out about like we had expected.
And no, I wasn't doing some vodoo trick on the emrbo, that's just my natural look of disdain:
We decided that there needs to be some work done around the base of oils, we aren't entirely sure about the consistency. Also, we are thinking that our makeshift warming agent may be a little on the weak side and may need to buy some of the weapon grade capsicum. seriously.
Straining out the warming agent from the oil tincture:
The scent, and the look is pretty appealing, but we've already started to hatch some new plans about recipes. Be looking for Batch One soon!
The final product: Batch Zero:

Very interesting process, isn't it? Thinking we may have stumbled on a good late spring recipe, but we need something for the cold months ahead, and yeah, gotta tweak that consistency. Round 2 coming shortly...
E, I've got tomorrow off, I'll stop by the shop to pick up some more jars and some more of that stinky oil stuff. I'll drop it by your place.
tired of paying retail? ha ha, good stuff barry! holla if you need customer feedback/focus group subjects!

Sean, E and I are going to test out this batch this weekend. If we deem it moderately acceptable, there's a little tub with your name on it!
love your diy ethic!
