Re: How to carbon Filter
I made a really easy to use carbon filter out of the right material. It sits in the corner of a spare bed room covered in dust. I learned if you do it right you don't need it!

elektrosport, Thanks for the info. The cherry wood I have is from a wild cherry tree. It makes tiny cherrys that are no good to eat.

Re: Tomato paste alterative
The brand name was Pace and it had dehydrated garlic in it. Not sure how much. But the yeast loved the salsa. Not much of the flavor carried over but you can detect a hint of it in there. I did check it with a hydrometer. 1.070 was my starting point and it was below 1.0 at the finish only 9 days lat...

Tomato paste alterative
I have used tomato paste in my wash for a couple of years now as a nutrient for the yeast. I don't have any complaints about it, and I know it helps it go dry much faster than without. There is no taste that carries over as far as I can tell. But last week I was getting a wash ready and was about to...

I used UPS and was lucky to have no problem. The reason I avoided the postal service is that would be a federal issue where with UPS it is just against their rules. My rule of thumb for packing would be if it will survive a two story fall......LOL

Re: Jimbo's Wheat Flour AG Experiment
Two weeks ago I started a faux wheat whiskey (sugar head) and was going to run it today. Too many other things like naps and playing stupid games came up so it has another week to clear. It should be good. Fingers crossed.
