Bourbon.

Not so pashut that it is chometz gamur and partially depends on the brand.

All bourbon by definition is at least 51% corn - doesn't that mean it's not chometz gamur?

I am pretty sure those that don't sell chametz gamur don't see even if it's less than rov

[grodnoking]

No. But we do sell whiskey and flour.

[justmeha]

No-it is defined as kezayis bichdei achilas pras.

Why?

[moish]

I don't sell, but the following was posted on the BMG guidelines (R' Forcheimer et al):
Selling Chometz Gomur
We suggest that even if you don’t ordinarily sell גמור חמץ ,this year you should evaluate your situation,
as it will be difficult to obtain Chometz right after Pesach without exposing yourself and others to sakana
from crowds attempting to purchase Chometz. If in the past you did not sell גמור חמץ and you choose
to do so this year you do not need to make נדרים התרת to do so.

[justmeha]

Why?

because the אלטער רבי held that there is no problem whatsoever when sold thru a ערב קבלן. so its "על דרך "כיון דנפיק

Besides, you are more likely to encounter חמץ שעבר עליו הפסח issues with געבאקן נאך פסח than with something you made sure to properly sell.

I would assume this should apply to any area with a lot of frum Jews especially if it is a hotspot

[yungermanchik]

Bourbon.

At least according to Rav Moshe, that is considered zaya of chometz not chometz gamur.

I don't follow.
Are you accusing Jewish owned grocery stores of not properly selling their chametz?

[PlatinumGuy]

No-it is defined as kezayis bichdei achilas pras.

Why is it not בטל ברוב מדאורייתא?

[PlatinumGuy]

I have a stock of Chometz that I would normally throw out but will take and physically give to a Goy along with him paying for it to make sure it's completely outside of my domain and ownership.
