I found square flip-seal bottles on a website- I just wish they were!  dark, as, for recipes with organics in (like my apple pie) light is a BAD thing...

ah, here we go- this is the website: http://www.specialtybottle.com/swingtopbottlesmi.aspx

The individual prices on that site are awesome... but the shipping is pretty much a killer!  I've had my eye on those for a while now, but shipping for any sort of glass is just so incredibly high...  :-\

I would think that Grolsch beer bottles would be dandy for this purpose—the ones with the ceramic top.  You can get new seals from any brewing supply store. You could also use returnable beer bottles, if you can still get them in your area. Again, capping supplies are easily attainable.

I love all of the swingtop bottles!  However, since I already have old wine bottles and corking equipment (make my own wine).  I think I am going to go the easy route and use those. 

I bottled limoncello this week and have pineapple cordial in progress  ;D

I realized I hadn't put up the recipe for the Lemonhead Vodka yet.

Here we go:

1 litre of vodka (I used Military Special vodka)
4 pkgs (6 oz each) of Lemonheads candy

Put the vodka into a sealable container large enough to hold both the vodka and the candy.
Put the candy into the vodka.
The candy dissolves in less than 2 days, with almost no sediment.
Strain the mixture through a cloth after you are certain the candy is completely dissolved (I waited about 2 weeks).
Let age, decant, and enjoy!

I have made several using coffee flavoring syrups (sweetened up a bit with sugar and water and to also cut the flavor a bit).  This past weekend I saw pumpkin by Toriani ( not sure of the exact spelling

 This has come up a few times over the years.  Usually around this season... hmm I wonder why? ;)

 At the top of the forum on the right hand side is a search box.  If you put in the term: pumpkin pie   ... WHILE viewing this thread, so it only searches here, you will find a good bit of information on the subject.  There are even a few, "starter" recipes that others have posted.  They do speak directly to the Torani (SIC, I'm sure) syrups as well.

  Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

I was wondering with those of you that make pie loki, do you use an extract to simulate the whipped cream taste? if so, what do you use? if not, is the taste still obvious without the cream taste? I have the flavors down in my head for pumpkin pie (I know, I know), but have now hit a speed bump.

Looking for a suggestion - want to filter some of the sediment out of my latest loki flavor attempt. Any suggestions on how I should go about that? Coffee filters are all that is coming to mind.
If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!

Merlin the Elder

It would seem that you'd have to be able to drip slowly to filter with coffee filters...not a lot of surface area. We used to filter grease from deep fryers through some quite large conical filters. They would be able to process a lot more Loki in a shorter time. The filters are very much like coffee filters, but probably not as dense.

You can use coffee filters, just put them into a funnel and then let it drip into a container.

I might suggest a reusable coffee filter over a paper one. They drain through much more quickly than paper ones. Maybe place it into an extra large funnel or into an old filter cup off a coffemaker. Cost a few bucks for a round one at Walmart, or get fancy with one that looks like it would fit right into a funnel.

Whipped cream vodka... or extra vanilla syrup.
