hi allen , did you ask about the smell ? i guess i've been doing it wrong too .this summer put the jugs in the greenhouse under a bench , but still to bright probably. i don't have crocks, can't afford antique prices , so i use glass that had organic apple juice in it. my understanding is that it should have the sulferous smell. i think i'll call him-(. Hugh Courtney at JPI.) About the conference (the mid atlantic one).. i called and reserved for 2 , finally got the info, will send the check by end of august. see you there.:)sharon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allan Balliett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .
