Good morning,
This past show, we made two types and used one pre-made type:
1) We got 2 gallons of 95% ethanol and then zested 250 or so lemons. Then we put the zest into the ethanol for about 8 weeks and filtered the zest away. Talk about aroma therapy! Then, we added one gallon of distilled water and a kilogram of cane sugar. We let the whole thing sit for another 4 weeks, then we made 1.75 oz. aliquots in glass lab bottle with bakelite tops. (The bakelite part makes a difference.) We made around 150 of these things, and put them on dry ice in our "dressing area" during the show. We'd have people listen to the gear, and then we'd serve them a couple of this system enhacing fluid bottles and see what they thought they did for the sound.
2) We did the same thing with 2 liters of 95% ethanol, mixed about 10 parts ethanol to 3 parts of 70% ethanol/thujon extract. This was served from one master container in very small amounts to check toxicity before we tried it on ourselves. It worked well, too!
3) We also brought about 6 cases of wine from our cellars and poured into soap-free wine goblets, with test subjects allowed their choice of grape, winery, and portions.
In general, the effect of the system enhancing fluids showed a bell shaped curve relative to dose of fluid. With dose being the "X" axis and quality of sound enhancement on the "Y" axis. Apologies for the objectivist dose/response curve - it's not set in stone, and does vary from individual to individual.
Usually, by halfway through the next day (depending on the dose and the person's hydration status), the effect of the system enhancing fluid is gone, and listeners can choose to re-treat or not.
We call our tweak "Servive to Humanity," or "Beneficium procul Humanitas."
Cheers!
