Drunk Moose Alert
I know a case of cows eating the mash discarded from a moonshine still. I recall they merely became unsteady. And perhaps amorous? That’s scary. A moose would be worse!
Moose are big and potentially dangerous. My Uncle Jim, a devout hunter, despised moose hunting. He said it’s like going out in the Back Forty and shooting Old Bossie.

Hmmm, did my ex-wife get loose again?
Or put a plastic sheet over it with an elastic band. Making beer, that was the primary fermenting container; when it settles down a bit, transfer to a carboy with a fermentation lock. Early bottling is disastrous. FIRE IN THE HOLE!
Our word “honeymoon” may derive from Honeymead.

Carboy: A large glass or plastic bottle, usually encased in a protective basket or crate and often used to hold corrosive liquids.
My question would be on old honey. Are we talking grandma here?
Seriously, how old should it be? Can it be processed like that available in stores? Or are we talking raw honey taken from apiary keepers when they’re not looking?
Go to the WineArt/BeerArt store.
Not sure about the old honey—must one leave it exposed to the air? I thought carboys were used to store drinking water. Every one I’ve seen is five gallons.

Honey has been described as the perfect food. It doesn’t rot or go bad. I laugh when I see that people have put it in their refrigerator.
SK: A friend gave us some honey yesterday from her small private apiary. Yummers. But it does get stronger and unpleasant tasting over a long period of time. And it crystalizes. As my Granny said, it, “Goes to sugar”. Easily enough fixed with a pan of warm water or a microwave.
