Yes, i think it might lyfespan. After taking out of the machine, i use a small saucepan and have the thermometer in the oil and boil off the booze at 175-180 F then i end up pouring that into a 1 cup stainless measuring cup, and that works well to finish it. I started with 80 grams this time, you could do 40 grams in the measuring cup. You also need a dropper with cold water to place the 4 drops of water in at the end. It is so cool when you see the light green cloud of clorophyl leave the pot... it finishes fast...so have your water drops there ready.
