Anyone got links for the Russian sites? I'd be interested... My head hurts too!

Was late heads hearts. Had already decided that that jug was being kept, as was the next one.. Had a couple of smaller ones of just heads and 4 of tails.

Hi again Guys, wondering if you can help me. I was in the last 10 minutes of my tripple distillation of a primarily wheat based whiskey when I smashed the first Demi John containing most of the late heads and hearts. I put a hole through the bottle about 1/3 of the way up with the last bottle I was ...

Sounds excellent! Some of my best beers have been lambics; some lost to competing moulds/bacteria though. Never got round to distilling any of them. Interested as to the results.
Does anyone know of any commercial spirits based on wild yeast beers?

Our local pub ,dating from 1730' has a Brown Bess, a Bren gun and a large bore blunderbus above the bar. Apparently all in working order according to the barman. No credit is accepted.

These get left to brighten up in the left overs of whatever run I've done so they're nice and clean for the next go. I think I'm not the only one to find ...

Thanks for the help everyone!

Hi Swedish, Been distilling for around 6 months so far, have done odins gin and a rum made with treacle that carried over an astringent flavour in the late heads (uk Brewers take note that treacle is not the same as molasses) but I mainly do all grain whiskey as I come from a brewing background.. Ha...

Wondering if you guys can help with my next problem..? I have a 100l stainless stock pot running with a 1/2 inch stainless/1" jacketed Liebig. This is 48" long. I went over to a stainless condenser after reading about carbamate concerns in final spirits. I also run with high purity copper ...

Thanks.

Thanks everyone. Will I get more of a tendency to smear?

Hi all, Used the search function but to no avail.... Hope I'm not being retarded. Just wondering if there is any reason why you couldn't drill through the side of a stainless stockpot say 2" from the rim and then use flor paste to seal the lid and Liebig? I know it would make a very ugly pot bu...

Just wanted to say a quick hello from London, England.

Been a long time lurker but finally got around to posting

This site is a great resource
