Sure! Food grade glycerin is available at my local giant chain drugstore
in the hand lotion area. You put it in the airlock to keep the water from
evaporating, as it always does. Use it just like water. Glycerin is
hygroscopic so it will absorb water and never evaporate. I usually split it
50/50 w/h2o. I think I pay $2 for 8 oz.
