Re: Oaking and aging the T-Pee way

I really am in no way qualified to give advice here but thought I'd just share my experience. I did a sweet feed run and went to a local wood craft shop and bought a 1/2" dowel rod of white oak. I cut it in 3 5" lengths, baked at 400 for 15 min or just till the aromas started to fill the k...

Re: sweetfeed whisky

Yes sir. This is basically an experiment to see if I can make this already wonderful drop just a tad smoother by not using sugar. The original recipe is honestly fantastic. It is my favorite white sipper, but there is still a sharpness from the sugarhead. I'm hoping corn for the engine rounds the e...

Re: sweetfeed whisky

My first run turned out pretty good. I didn't stray from the recipe except the type of sugar. I got a 1.069 OG and .996 finish. I must say it was messy as hell not using any type of separation with the feed in the bucket. I just started my second mash and rinsed the feed and put it in cheese cloth. ...

Re: Running like a freight train

This finished with a .996 SG @ 1.5 weeks. I made my first cut at 150 mL and kept the next 325ML that I cut 3 times but ended up mixing it together at 150 proof. the last 110 ML got dirty so I shut it down. I never really felt a difference in the texture while making cuts but the smell cleaned up whe...

Well this is only my 2nd mash and I've got a little reading to do but holy shite. My first was just sugar and water and Red Star DADDY yeast that peculated like a slow Coffey maker. That was my sacrificial run. Now I have tried the Sweet feed Whiskey mash T&T recipe and its running like a freigh...

Thanks for the recipe Kentucky shinner. I'm going to make this my first and probable 2nd 3 4 5 to learn my still. I'm using a local mill in central Pennsylvania called Sunday's Mill Co. Its in the Carlisle area down to Lewisberry area just in case there may be a local on here. Thanks again. :thumbup:

Lol you might be right but I'm already producing a constant temp to utilize. If I didn't need the humidifier I probably would have.

Alternative ferment temp control

As I was sitting here grumbling that my first sugar wash was still bubbling after a week and was dying to run it to clean the still my wife and kids bought me for my birthday I had an epiphany. Well not really, I remembered what i read hear about temp and time of ferment. Ok, on to it. I had my jugs...

Re: Thoughts on this

those thing can be a PITA. The drain pan was just in case it leaked. they also auto shut off. just in case anyone else think of using one. Also 13,000 watts is 54ish amps and it rated 80 with a note that said 40 amp breaker, that part was a little confusing. Just thought i'd throw that out there.
