Will Everclear (alcohol) cause vegetarian gelcaps to melt?

Asked by Kraigmo (9055points) June 12th, 2012

I came up with a really strong herbal concoction. It’s strong enough to make anyone impressed if i were to sell it.

Since the herbs in the concoction are fat-and-alcohol-soluble, my base ingredient must always be either a Fat or an Alcohol.

So far, my base ingredient has been butter. But I’ve noticed that when I make the base Everclear… my concoction is far, far stronger (not even including the obvious Everclear feeling).

I want to put this stuff in gelatin capsules. But I want to use the vegetarian kind. I already know the butter-base will work.

But will the Everclear base melt the vegetarian gel-caps?

If anyone’s ever seen what happens when you pour gasoline into a styrofoam box…. I want to avoid that type of chemical reaction.
