Good thing the bourbon I drink was made at least 4 years ago.. There will be a shortage in a few years though. Remember when the distilleries made hand sanitizer a couple years back? :BangHead: :BangHead: :rofl: :rofl:

I just went to the local adult beverage dispensary a little while ago and they had numerous varieties of Buffalo Trace on display. Can't say I have ever seen that in this part of the world before.

Weren't they in the midst of some big project at the distillery that limited their distribution? Am I remembering that right?

@toolmanmike ?
 
I've seen a couple different news articles involving distilleries lately. One involving a toxic vapor that escapes the stills and condenses on the neighboring surroundings which may cause health issues. Another about the state of Kentucky removing the property taxes that were charged to the distilleries for the product aging in barrels on the property :wtf:.

That mildew on the buildings is a byproduct of the distilling process. It's like "black mold" that may build up in your bathroom because of the humidity. It's everywhere there is distilling and the article you saw was right in town. It isn't so noticeable or an issue if the distillery is a distance away from other businesses or homes. They will get it under control. I haven't heard about the tax thing but the distilleries pay tax on every ounce of distilled spirits they produce. The unfair thing is that as the barrels mature, some of the liquid evaporates but they still pay the entry tax on 53 gallons. There might only be 20-30 gallons left after 5-10 years
 
It's called the "angel's share"

I should eat like this every night. Fried chicken breast with Mango seasoning, home cured and smoked bacon bits and Blue Cheese dressing. Damn, I forgot the tomatoes.

No!!!!!!!!! Distillery fungus also known as Whiskey fungus, Rum fungus, and Warehouse Staining fungus is a black fungus known as Baudoinia compniacensis. While it is black in color, this is not Stachybotrys, often referred to as black mold.

I’m sure you’re right. But I read vapor and took a guess.

What I read is it feeds on the high concentrations of ethanol in the air.
 
This makes me very very nervous. Especially since the trend has been that just east of the red the last few years is where the tornadoes seem to hit. The big ones…

I was removing black mold this morning. Was some behind vanity and I noticed the corner of drywall was not mudded. Sure enough it crept in behind it. Pic after a bleach bath… Otherwise, its clean in around the back of shower.

Yep. I wish you were closer. I have a couple small engine shops on my old route that could help you out. I dropped off my old Mantis mini tiller in the middle of snow blower season and said whenever you get it done. I got a call a few weeks ago. It was done. Yep, a new carb, plug and some hoses. $100 later but it was junk before and it was given to me. He sold me some of that 2 cycle gas too. It's supposed to help with the carb issues.

I use the premix 2 cycle fuel also. My leaf blower is an intermittent use device so fuel is an issue.
