Hey, I think you have the wrong bug! There is a fly that will bite the pepper, called the pepper maggot fly. It looks very similar but I think that is a wasp.
How easy would it be to get a close to anhydrous ethanol product out of Everclear with fractional distillation? You've got around 20 degrees to work with inbetween them. Or are there too many contaminants in Everclear? I hear a lot of people use everclear for pepper oil.
If not I've heard...
