A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for making your own Bay Rum at home, and I know a few of you have taken up the challenge. We are now coming close to the time when you will have to start thinking about "bottling up", that is to say, when the month is up, you will need consider how to move the bay rum from the jam jar into your aftershave/cologne sprinkler bottle. To do this you will need..
an empty aftershave/cologne bottle (a sprinkler is ideal)
a clean bowl
a sieve of some kind
a pipette.
I'm assuming you can supply the bowl and the sieve yourselves, and probably the bottle too. However, if you need a bottle I can send you one out, but I would need to ask you to cover the cost of the bottle and p&p (£2.50) should do it for a UK address. If you need a pipette PM me with your address and I will send one out to you no charge, as they are very light, and I can get one to you for the cost of a stamp.
The average jam jar will leave you with between 100-150ml of Bay Rum after discarding the solids. If you fill up a 100ml sprinkler bottle you will have some left over. Just wash out the jam jar, dry it inside, and return the extra to the jar. The screw top lid will keep it safe, and you can use it to top up the sprinkler later.
