Moths in my rum wash

Postby andybear » Mon Jan 01, 2018 11:14 am

I seen something new this morning. In the spent rum wash I found hundreds of mostly dead moths. This would have to be my 20th or so wash, and never before had this happen. Just thought I'd share with you all.

Weren't they covered?
Look like rum is the moths favourite too!!

If its finished just strain them out and run it as soon as possible.

That's right prawnz. I'd run it earlier that day. I leave it to cool before using it on the garden. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
