Re: Just wanted to say hello.
Thanks Gents!
I'll do my best to stop in to see what's new. Lend a helping hand when possible.
Looks like I should have some time to get a run in next month. Ordered grain and got the shop organized. Need to clean my still a little and sanitize everything.
Cheers!

Re: My First Alembic Still
She's a beauty!
Looks just like the one I have.
Treat her with care and she won't let you down.
I would do a few sac runs to make sure you get all the nasties out.
Have fun!

Just wanted to say hello.
Haven’t been on the site for some time with life is taking me in a million directions. No time for fun with the still. Spend the short amount of free time I have chasing bourbon and rye. Hope you guys are all doing okay and I wish you all the best! I will try to stop in more often. Cheers all! Irish

It is American quarter sawn white oak. I had the same question my self, which is why I started communicating with the owner.

Re: Wedding Party Bottles
I have barrels from Barrelsonline.com. Never had an issue and I have recommended to several local stillers, as well as some on the forum. I have never heard about issues with them.
I have had a few conversations with the owner and have enjoyed talking with him.

Re: Aged whiskey on 4 way OAK
That looks like a lot of oak,but if it tastes good go with it. We all have different taste. I would play with less oak and more time on oak to see if you get better results. Lately I've been playing with soaking oak in Sherry and some in Port. Once I pull from my badmo barrels, I toss some of the sh...

Wpkluck, Taking the thumper out of the equation. I was told in the past that a 1.5 distillation is when you strip, then dilute (proof down) with the same wash and do a spirit run.
