Silver

Post by Stonecutter »

Any body out there using silver as part of their process? Maybe for water purification. I was wonder what it would do if you dropped a chunk into an aging jar of white dog?

This is about all I found in the forum…interesting concept.

Its non toxic, so safe, but I fail to see the point. It is largely non reactive, the only benefit it would have is that its anti-bacterial... which shouldn't really matter in 50% abv.

That was my thinking. I age at around 60% there’s not much to kill in a bottle that strong.
