No YouTube hosts were harmed in the making of this video; I did not get sick in eating 14 month old fresh eggs! This video was originally posted January 14, 2020 (pre-pandemic).
The recipe used for this video was 12 oz by weight hydrated lime to ¾ gallon of water. Stored in an unheated room that experienced temperatures of 89 to 24 degrees Fahrenheit.
