Re: Is there a "point of safety?"

Great! Thanks, it's a great confidence boost! But I'm not going to get cocky, not yet, and I'll keep a close eye on all of my babies.

Re: This is very intresting...

Re: This is very intresting...

Oh and thanks for the move Hookline! This process was originally though up for making ethanol for fuel, but ethanol is ethanol, so it shouldn't matter, right? If it works it works... Maybe in the near future we will be able to get drunk at gas stations... People taking it right from the ethanol hose...

Re: How long would this wash take to ferment?

Thanks for all the info!

I have enough space to try two other washes, so I'm going to go for the Greber and another one. I'll tell you how it goes! I'm keeping my omelet wash (that's hilarious!) just for the sake of trying it.

Thanks!
