Does this need to be cured before used for aging liquors?

Depends on the barrel, but usually yes. I had to cure the last barrel for about a week with water first.

I bought 2. I filled mine with hot water and let it set for two days to ensure I had no leaks. Drained the water and filled with recipes. No issues. Great outcome. Highly recommended.

it will be cured when adding your favorite liquor, wines, etc. At present I have my favorite Port in it for almost 2 months. Im having my first taste on Thanksgiving Day. However, I did a taste couple days ago, definitely enjoyed my Port.

No it does not. You just need to fill with water so that the wood swells then empty and fill with any liquor or cocktail ingredients.

The longer the barrel is aged with wine, water or say vanilla the less tannins are released. If you have a new barrel make sure it is not charred - preferably european oak or a used redwine barrel. They remain good for 40 years. All barrels should be aged or cleaned with copious amount of clean water.

It is recommended to still use a sealer like Bulletproof from Dupont. Since the Revitalizer is water based and bulletproof is too. Use Revitalizer like a daily cleaner.

I've worried about that myself. However, I haven't noticed anything. I think the trick is being sure you allow it to completely cure before using it.

I usually use a bar up in about six months, I don't think there is any problem with freshness as there are no preservatives like Oil of Olay or other soaps.

Not sure; did you sanitize it with alcohol first? Directions that I received says that you should always sanitize with alcohol first and this includes the first time you use it too.

Mineral spirits will change the mix and when you use it again it may not behave the same way. This had been a major problem with a lot of the newer finishes. What I have been doing is taking a small propane torch and adding propane gas to the top of the can before closing it (don't light the torch!). The propane chases the oxygen so you don't get any oxidation. Shelf life when using this method can be increased to 18 months to 2 years.

It will give any distilled liquor a rich smoke flavor like any aged bourbon. After just 3 months its just about right. Just make sure it's rinsed after each use.

I found the stones did not chill the whisky's so I took superglue and made a Picasso cubist sculpture out of them, that worked better for that than what they were advertised to do. I can only guess that the 3 that turned have had a mineral composition that reacted with the whisky or what the whisky was aged in. Did you use all 9 stones with the same whisky?? I cant see bacteria living in alcohol infused anything.

I don't think aging wil make any difference!! I had that problem with a few batches of wine I made from wine jucie in a bucket. I think your problem was in your primary fermation. You need to mix your juice really well during primary fermentation and let the co-2 gas escape. It could be something else also like unsanitary equipment, carboy or bottles . Good luck and drink it yourself!!

If the wood, on the deck, is not rotted you can use the wood filler for repair. Any rot must be removed and replaced first. If the wood is "soft" you may be able to use "wood hardener" from Minwax before using the filler.

My husband, who uses the stuff, says he's never noticed any deterioration (he usually starts the last bottle in the bulk package about 3 months after we bought it). We do, however, store the unused bottles in their original boxes and in a dark closet, which could help protect them.

Not sure, It didn't last that long. It goes well with bourbon for bourbon & gingerale. It's quality stuff, wouldn't surprise me if there was an expiration date just for quality control.

Yes, I always use last year's leftover bottle before starting on the new one. There will be a hunk of fairly solid stuff that will come out first - just be prepared to dispose of that.

Its not a glue it harden and is used more for ill fitting dentures. I hope this helps! Good luck.

i don't believe there is... it appears to be water with some surfactants so any of the old 78s that were made from resins that can be attacked by alcohol and other organics would not be hurt by this system....

Yes. I have 90 year old mahogany floors that are unfinished. I stripped the old wax off the floors then applied new stain to the floors followed by Rejuvenate. It smooths out the imperfections in the old floor and looks great. It is holding up quite well but I did notice that dripping anything acidic on the floor (vinegar, lemon/lime juice) leaves a small whitish spot on the floor. I assume this is due to the liquid reacting with the Rejuvenate.
