Dit da jow brewing methods

I have heard that there is much more Methods of brewing dit da jow than just covering the herbs in alcohol and shaking it everyday. I was hoping the more experienced jow brewers could shed some light and hopefully share some methods other than soaking in alcohol. Like cooking certain herbs before adding to the jow or heating the alcohol it’s self that adding I even heard of burying the jow with peat moss? Thanks in advance
