If the oranges have dropped I would go as per instructions. Seems like this recipe is very popular for a reason, its simple and good. I just made my first batch of this stuff in the beginning of October and I am still waiting for the oranges to drop but the smell of this stuff is amazing. I have...

Hey Random, if it were me, I would bottle what you have made already, forget about it for 6 months to a year and dont expect too much. Seems a shame, not to mention a waste of time and money, to throw out anything without giving it the proper time. One common issue in this thread is that these...

this is easy, 7-11 stores came up with their own brand a couple of years ago called "Game Time"? I think it was called. This was the worst crap I have ever had the displeasure to try. I was curious about it so I bought a 12 pack cold, as if it made any difference, ha! Anyone else ever try this...
