Thank you all for all the great advice.

What about the yeast? Is the White Lab brand of bourbon yeast a good selection? How much would I use for this big batch.

I've been looking for bourbon mash recipes, but having a hard time finding one. Any links would be appreciated.

I'm from MI too. I could be wrong, so please look it up. To my understanding the permit to distill fuel is $2,000 in MI. if you want to Distill spirits in MI it's like $100. I thought that was odd because the Federal fuel permit is free. Please let me know if you find the same information. I'm a new...

I'm trying to form a game plan for my still before buying. There are so many options, and by now my brain is mush. I'm also having a hard time finding information in regards to the benefits of equipment. It seems everyone already knows the benefits, and therefore talking with more advanced knowledge...
