Tried a new method of steeping and it worked great!

I tried a new method a couple months back and have been using it ever since. I typically mix up 2 100 ml bottles of juice then rolled them up in a electric heating pad. I monitored the temp with my digital smoker thermometer and settled on setting the heat to around medium (150 degrees F). I would walk by and vigorously shake the rolled up heating pad about every half hour. I removed them about 4 hours later and gave an extended shake. I let them rest overnight and tested the next day...viola!

If your steeping method works for you that's all that matters, oofda33. I like the idea of the digital smoker thermometer; my wife got me one I can monitor from the next room and it hadn't occurred to me that I could keep and 'eye' on my juice remotely with it.
