Does anyone know if a Dunder pit that freezes will be no good anymore.
I have to keep mine outside , the wife won't even let me bring fermenting rum wash inside because "it smells " so bringing in a container of nasty muck is right out of the question.
In the UK we do get below zero although I'm currently optimistic of a mild winter but I've seen containers of a similar size freeze solid before, Im going to move it into the shed which will offer some marginal protection but in case it does freeze will that "kill" it?
Could I take a small jar to store somewhere (hidden) in the house and use that to innoculate a fresh batch when the weather warms up?
Not a problem. Most stuff will go dormant or it will create spores and spores are damn near impossible to kill.The Librarian . Beginner's Guide to Making Distilled Spirits . Spirit Style Guide . Developing Flavor Profiles . HD Recent Activity . Google Search HD
Woman needs to go have her nose checked
.......nothing better than the smell of fermenting Molasses
Couldn’t agree more! Every time I open a fermenter (in a closet in the kitchen) my wife comments that it smells good. It’s nice having a supportive partner in this hobby! I don’t think I could do it if she hated it that badly.Steve, you’re way behind time. This is not 38, but it’s old 97. You must put her into Spencer on time.

+1 nothing like the smell of molasses ferment. My wife couldn't believe the sweet smell when I started doing rum ferments.
I am currently looking for an upgrade , a younger model would be nice
.I prefer older models now, maintenance might be regular, but simpler, I can handle the horsepower (just), and the crumple zones are solid, not fake plastic heh heh
