A coating of beeswax and then brewers pitch? That's interesting. I'm curious as to why you think the beeswax is needed. I would think that the pitch would be tough on it's own. Also, if you don't mind me asking, who are you buying your brewers pitch from? I've had trouble sourcing it from sellers who keep it in stock . Quote

CFM tsunkasapa Posted September 22, 2021 CFM Report Posted September 22, 2021 Wine and beer are not as "solvent" as whiskey, vodka etc. I have used cheap vodka to remove the labels from newly installed windows. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
CFM Frodo Posted September 22, 2021 Author CFM Report Posted September 22, 2021 I have plenty of pine trees out back. I will use the pine resin with nothing added except maybe a bug or 2 From my research you can indeed carry spirits in these. You can not store spirits in them {Or so I am told} SO, Drink up me mates.
