Wish I would have done this years ago. Those three bins were all done today and everything is clean as a whistle. No more dust and dirt. Probably would have taken me a.month with the old brass cleaning method.

I picked this up last fall after I sold my 1964 Newport. I wish I didn't put it in storage. I have a few odds and ends I could be working on this winter. I may go get it if we don't get snow soon.

We switched to reverse osmosis and it cut down boiling time by probably 60%. We ended up making 40l last year before I shut everything down as we had way more than we could use so I am thinking about skipping this year.

That is the very definition of ice fishing.

Pretty much anything metal. Those little pins get every where and you should do it in the garage instead of the mudroom.

Additionally wait till the wife leaves before putting brass in the oven to dry it faster.
