Aussiedistiller, Home Distilling, Moonshine, Home Brew

The first time I baked them in the oven and they were fine after but since I haven't bothered and in rum there's no detectable trace of them.
I would bake them again if using them in a neutral wash not that I've ever had to adjust a neutral wash.
