Re: american white oak in the u.k.

just wanted to share a link to a German place (probably way too expensive, but at least my fellow Europeans will have the option). They also have barrels, that seem to be at a better price. http://www.barrel-shop.com/oak-alternatives.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;"...

Sourcing Molasses in Denmark/Germany

Hi All, I live in Denmark, which is pretty much beet country, with regards to feed molasses. The common treacle (sirup) is a mixture of beet and cane molasses (probably mostly beet) . The only product I can find (within reasonable cost), is "brown sugar", which is stated to contain regular...

Re: 5 liters party keg aging?

Re: Rookie Shiner looking for some assistance

for my still, I have a 10ltr SS pot with 5meters of 10mm copper tubing inserted into the lid and coiled on the outside. the lid is fastened with clamps and everything is sealed with flour paste. this makes for a very simple air cooled still, everything you need to do is apply heat.

Re: What still to built or buy?

Hi All, I am a novice and I do not know which still to buy. I have built a very simple construction myself (that works), but I am looking for something pretty and space conserving (I am living in an appartment). I have had my eyes set on the standard pot still from http://www.copper-alembic.com"...
