I might give that a go. Thanks for sharing Druid

+1 thanks Druid

That is going to be one BIG batch. Might scale down for a test.

Big batches wont go off as they get eaten up , best thing to do is cut into small bars and keep in a tin with a time lock , or some sort of time operated dispenser

A time capsule for 100years? How cool would that be?

Sounds good might give it a go
