high grain all-natural vinegar, I would take to mean higher than the common 5% acetic acid which is referred to as 5 grains, found in most store bought vinegars. While 8 grains (8% acetic acid) is used in pickling. Tabasco's high grain may refer to a higher than 5% acetic acid level.
That could mean a longer shelf life if one were to water down their Tabasco with CS. IMO, an acetic acid level of 2% would be good for close to one year, not counting any anti pathogenic preservative effects of the CS. Ed Kasper LAc.
