  Dave-I've been using the saponin available to me in Canada which is
  also "preserved", in this case with copper.

  However, once it's diluted 1:1000 it will only contribute about 1ppm
  copper to the material--I'm just using it in my spray tank. My
  homestyle plate tests have indicated no adverse effects from this
  level of preservative, might be different with benzoate, and in the
  actual brewing process...?

  extract for a source of saponin and it has sodium benzoate as a
  preservative which means it shouldn't be used, right?
