Re: Booner's Casual All Corn
I've really good success pre-heating my cracked corn (Producers Pride). I fill 3 aluminum catering trays with 3lbs 14oz each, add water 'till I can see some peeking through, wrap tightly in foil and bake at 190 for 2 hours or so. I used to bake at 300 for 90 minutes, but lost too much corn sticking ...

Chameleon Bourbon
Question. I have a bourbon that seems to be a chameleon... it changes ever so slightly with time when drinking. Over the time it takes to consume the bourbon over ice, the bourbon hits 3 phases that I can tell. 1st - vanillas and caramel when initially poured over ice. 2nd - vanillas and caramel not...

Re: cuban rum
Huge fan of the Havanna Club...
My go to is the 7 with a pref for older.
In-Laws live in France - one of the best and less expensive options in the south is Havanna Club.
Working the budget to get 100lbs from Sugar Daddy - should lay up nearly 5 gals in some nice Balcones Oak.

Re: Bourbon
I like that one DF - very straight forward. had a nice 12 yo Weller Friday down in HHI (Lucky Rooster). One of the best Bourbon menus I've seen.

Re: CT's agitating mash after ferment-OHH NO NOT BEER!!!
Copper - great response to the folks feedback. I understand what you mean however. When I move any of my ferments to a secondary - far more particulates fall out of the suspension. I end up with a super clear mash, wine or wash to run. I will see in about a year if it make any difference in the end ...
