Thymol

[Matthew Roberts]

Hello,
I am making up some syrup to feed a couple of splits. I was going to add some thymol. Does anyone know how long the thymol in lecithin solution lasts, does it need making up fresh every time? Thanks

I make up a mix in a large glass bottle which usually lasts me for 3 years. I just give it a shake occasionally.

Till the jar is empty
It can "settle" out so you just give it a good shake

This is the recipe with lecithin?

It says to dissolve 30g thymol in 5ml isopropyl alcohol. That must be a typo surely?

No, it's not. It will last for years, sometimes solidifies but warming the jar in hot water sorts that.

No I made some up and it lasts for ages.
