What do you do with all these alcool?
Hi everyone,
As I think of making my new still of 40L, a question comes to me: what will I do with all this alcool?
Drink it! Of course, but I enjoy two or three glasses a week. And give to family and friends. Those you can tust telling about our hobby.
So what do you do with your alcool. Give away without telling the origin? Store liters and liters?Other ideas?
Thanks everyone!

Use different grain bills. And different aging protocols. Then as the years go by you can see how time affects your product. Many different drinks to enjoy for the rest if your life.

And those that do not turn out undrinkable can recycled and refuxed into vodka.

Re: What do you do with all these alcool?
As I have only a small 10-ltr still, I still do not have that problem. I can drink it.
A friend had that problem some years ago and he said he had to give parties to get rid of his products. Both beer and shine.
He always could find people to throw a party: rich people always have a lot of friends.
But of course, as already said, you can age and store your products. With my small still I can not.
