Re: got the still, did the reading, made it happen!

Welcome! It's refreshing to seeing someone endeavoring to NOT kill themselves for a change. My usual spiel is "read read read". You don't seem to need it. So instead I will tell you to keep up the good work, you will find a great group of people here willing to answer all of your questions.

Never much cared for the stuff. These candy ferments sound pretty interesting, though. My particular location surrounds me i...

Re: Thoughts on the mini barrels

How do you know that they cannot be salvaged? Have you tried? Yup. I thought it was the wax originally and had Ralph send me some without wax. Mine all had charred ends. Lost way too much time and effort into those barrels. Ended up using them for decorations. Thanks for the heads up, 3d0g. I won't...

Re: Thoughts on the mini barrels

Don't bother. Don't know where elguedo gets his oak (or even if it is oak) but there's no amount of soaking / sanding / charring that will salvage them. Just use them as decorations. That would have been good to read 10 minutes ago LOL. I just took both barrels apart (banging the rings of was easy)...

I'm considering dismantling them, sanding the staves, re-charring them, then finally dropping them into a plastic pail of rum.

I've got a question. I've aged rum in 2- 5 liter barrels. Here's the weird thing: After three months, it came out tasting like I'd been soaking it in potpourri. I let it go another 8. Now it's super gross. Any ideas? I'd also lost about 30% of my volume in the three months. I cured that my shrink wr...

Welcome from Canada also! I found that fitting in the the Yanks here was easy. All you need are overalls, and to say 'YEEHAW!' a lot.

Read, read, read, then read some more. That's the best advice you can get on here. Don't forget that distilling can be very dangerous if not done correctly. YEEHAW!!
