Great feedback guys. Thanks for giving some reasons for the extra effort.

This craft is a trip. About the time I think I can draw a conclusion, I find that I have a ton to learn..

What do the veterans think of a copper rivet like they would use on your 501s or a saddle. Leather workers have a wide range of sizes.

Good morning. I have been doing a lot of reading to find an answer to a question. Short n sweet, why are people wanting high abv out of pot stills? I've read in the aging forums that a lot of people like to cask around 55% which should be easy even without a thumper; I've read that drinking > 130 pr...

I have 5 gallons of hard cider that has a real tart apple flavor (makes you pucker when you take a drink like a tart apple). I also have 5 gallons of apple wine that I was thinking about combining and then running for a brandy.. I know the wine is a dry wine.. would it be wise to just run the wine a...

Subscribed. Been wondering about other woods too.

I was wondering about the shelf life for these toasted sticks.. i'm doing small batches and won't use too much wood that often so can I put the remainder of my toasted oak in a jar n seal em up or are they depreciating so to speak? Must they be jared up? I made some nice cuttings and don't want to w...

I'd suggest a heffe. Everyone loves a good wheat beer and they are rediculously easy. The one I'm thinking of has one 8 oz specialty grain to deal with, one hop addition at the boil + malt, boil for 60, cool n pitch yeast. Kick back n look smart!

I ran that sweet feed whiskey per your instruction Brazand it worked very well! Thanks for taking the time to post.

It worked well! I scaled a batch of birdwatchers wash with the tomato paste and sugar to 6 gallon but, used a wine yeast. It took a while for the yeast to finish thier work but, it also took a while to build all my gear. Mashed a piece or two of quarter inch copper trying to wind a condencer then I ...
