I ran the bird watchers recipe.it came out really well but was wondering about the lack of cardboard smell in the tales. It smells more like a wine wash, and very watery. I did the spoon trick on what I assume to be the hearts portion, and it flamed up nicely. If I remeber correctly this means its a...

Thanks bushman, ill let it clear for a few then rack it..... or does it matter if I let it clear ? This is only for an alc. cleaning run.
