Ginger Beer Project

[IRISH]

Just to add to what Carmen posted above, soak it in pure clean water for about a month for every week it's in Hydrochloric Acid and change the water often before you put it into baking soda. The ink under the glaze can fade away over time and the stoneware yellows otherwize, may not happen or it may take years but it's better to be safe than sorry [] . They are a nice ginger/root beer those, a fellow I know has two different ones he got when he went to the US 20 years ago.

Welcome to the forum Carmen.

Soaking in distilled water for now. Biggest fault I discovered is that is was exposed to extreme heat ,"dump burn", even contact with a flame (about 10 o'clock above label) More than likely this bottle will end up displayed with my "looks better rusted" incl. an eggbeater, '33 lic. plate, and a skeleton key. All dugged up just just a few yards of each other.
Sure glad most bottles are made of glass[sm=tongue.gif]

Is this forum great or what!
