Liked on Facebook for my entry. Now waiting for the official conformation of my win!:sm

I'm in. PICK ME, PICK ME!.

Congrat's on your first batch of DB. But it is not time to relax just yet, you need to start another batch now, this stuff don't last...:dg Nice wine rack too!

I have been using 3 - teaspoons per 6 - gallon on previous batches. On the batch I'm starting today I only used 1-1/2 teaspoons to see what it's like.

Yes I do. 890
