just about to the hearts now... why couldnt i wait another hour for a drink... haha hope you all got a good laugh like i did

and btw i did crack into some of the whiskey i have in my barrels =))

Well I was bored and didnt wanna crack into my aged whiskey cuz its not done yet. Boredom killed me and yes I am doing that in smaller jars. i brushed my teeth and drank some water and my pallet is back so im good! just had to share my story with the community lol

Hello shot! Take it slow and enjoy the journey to good shine. experiment with recipes and get a bigger still to make more accurate cuts! good luck and keep us posted

lets get together when weather breaks ghost. i got an extra cabin or i can bring a tent and firewood and firewater haha!

Here I go chargin up my still. Perfectly good oak aged whiskey in front of me... 6th or so generation sour mash burnin and bored. I grab a coke inbetween cuts and decide to drink a lil heads. Went well first drink and the next one was a disaster and i puked everywhere. Now my pallet is screwed and i...

This hobby is not for the feint of heart. There are ups and many downs but true satisfaction awaits those who are adamant in their journey. I could not have produced what I have if it were not because of this website! Thank you all so much!! I am waiting on my sour wash to finish up and I will let e...

I would like to just take a minute and say thank you to all of the people here who have spent their time and given their knowledge to people like me. I taught my self how to distill but was smearing my heads all the way around and did not even know about 'cuts and fractions'. I was always wondering ...

Thumper x)

After f6's post I really started thinking about it. I spent a good hour of my life examining it and trying to figure it out. After a 'few' sips of some smooth whiskey i fell off my chair and looked at it sideways while squinting one eye. After a moment I thought I had it! Then I woke up and thought ...

Yeah I would read up on cuts to avoid that in future runs. Good job!

Probably around 3 gallons. Im going to do a couple more runs and just get it up to around 4.5 gallons. Im in no rush =) thanks all.

Thanks. I was just thinking the less you put in there the more space you would have in pot for the vapor to have to fill so was thinking that perhaps there was a point to where you would be wasting it. Thanks again!

I have been saving up for an all spirits run. I have a 6 gallon boiler and was just wondering how much I must have to do an all spirits run?

Im so confused... What... Why... I just dont understand lol

I think depending on what you would like to distill would determine what kind of still you should make. There are a lot of threads on the forums about what type of stills are better for what you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to make whiskey or rums (anything that has more flavor) then ...
