It allows you to put many more hulls in a given size container, and in any given amount of PGA or Vodka If you do decide to peel off the green hulls, you may consider wearing gloves as it does stain really badly. It also takes more than the usual time for the stains to fade, if I recall correctly. If any juice gets on any clothing, the stain will be pronounced and permanent. pj
Also, one fifth of Vodka Black Walnut tincture lasts me a couple years. I have no need to make even more. I don't want to keep it too long as it might loose its strength. Every now and then I take two teaspoons on an empty stomach to keep my bug population low. Damaged hulls turn black pretty quick, that is why I said to pick them from the tree instead of picking up dropped nuts. They would be black within 72 hours. The dropped nuts all have black hulls. People were advertising Green black walnut tincture. The walnuts have to be picked for the tincture to have the green tint. They seemed to downrate a black tincture as not quite as potent. Brickey
