Tater,
When I get caught up & the weather gets hot, I’m going to scale this down and give it a go.
Thanks. :thumbup:

I like the pepper corn idea. Have been doing that along with other flavorings in the few rum batches I have made. Like what black pepper corn brings.

Thanks Tater. Can you clarify the quantity of vanilla? Says “ .oz of vanilla”. Is that a typo and if not, what does that mean?

I just read an article about the dangers of drinking that scared the crap out of me.

That’s it. No more reading!
