Printed dilution amounts60 do not match the claimed targets; sucrose wording63 is a source issue, not OCR. Higher proof, longer extraction and chemical explanations are not established universal improvements.
2015 practitioner source, fully read. Source-record verification is not independent validation or publication clearance.
The source treats solvent strength, base flavor, fresh/dried material and extraction duration as variables. Fee profiles themselves demonstrate that glycerin-based does not imply alcohol-free.

Evidence
The source treats solvent strength, base flavor, fresh/dried material and extraction duration as variables. Fee profiles themselves demonstrate that glycerin-based does not imply alcohol-free.
