Well, met with mom and sibs today in honor of Dad's birthday. I had intended to get my sibs buzzed on wine and abscond with dad's old pickle crock. What I ended up with was a #10 (10 gallon?) ceramic crock that would be suitable for fermenting wine. Does anyone know if the interior glaze on these antique crocks contains lead? Yeah, it weighs a metric ton, yeah it had about 20 dead mice stuck to the bottom.
