I have a ton of this overproof rum.. it's awfully strong and pretty flavorless (clear). Would it be safe to use it in the airlock?? I normally use cheap vodka but I want to be rid of this stuff and since it's like 80 proof or something I figured it would work. I normally don't get suck back.. and if a teaspoon of rum gets in there oh well, right?? I always use a blowoff tube the first week so it won't be any kind of fermentation issue (suck back and kill the yeast). What do you guys think??
