Home Distiller

Thanks, I'm fully aware that something like that is a process that takes time to master. I'll use it in a comparative way next to the traditional method.

Thanks, I did not yet discover this but this would simplify making cuts a lot. I'm currently buffering strips but once I'm ready to making cuts again I'll try this and compare with the method I'm used to and see if it suits me. Do you go by this method and if so, do you cut at the onset of this oily...

I figured out why I had difficulty identifying the cuts. I had bought a parrot and used it for the first time. My goal was to have ABV measurements without having to do anything but I did not realize what I do now.... the parrot mixes what you collect thus ending up with a less clean product. The pa...

Good thing ............ Lots of text........ . Do we have a pot distiller around who is willing to strip, hydroseparate and distill without making cuts and telling us how it is? I have read the same about hydroseparation in the book mentioned above and figured it would be easy to give it a try if i...

that sounds valid to me, tnx for solving this one.

In "Making pure corn whiskey" by Ian Smiley it is emphazised that a fermention should never exceed 96 hours to avoid esters (page 62 and I believe there are more). However, I have never read this anywhere else. Also I never came across anyone conforming to this and personally I ferment unt...

well, I'm not sure if it is endangered but it certainly is not abundant. I do know it needs very specific conditions to grow. There is a cluster of them in National Park De Hoge Veluwe (here: https://goo.gl/maps/NSNiDE6ggkq" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nof...

great! Don't forget to walk by the Juniper tree in the Arboretum and pick the berries that I left for others.....

If it would ever be required/desired, maybe we could exchange equipment or experiences some day.

Interesting, I have lived for 10 years in that city and I have actually once by mistake triggered the fire alarms of the capitulation-hotel you mention while working on the wooden floors. We live at walking distance from each other. If you take the ferry on the east side of your town, the first vill...

Most places I can come up with that fit this discription are actually in Utrecht.

I live in the area that was known as the manneneiland (men-island) during the evacuation of the Betuwe during WW2.

I also live in Gelderland, near the river but across the hill....

Thanks for the advise Kareltje. Where do you live in Holland?

tnx, interesting topic....

Although i've read this forum until my eyes were bleeding, it's just so much that it is impossible to read it all.....

Ignore this especially if you use one of the recipes suggested above. I did not use one of those recipies but rather put together something myself. The main subject of the book that states the remark on the 96 hrs is corn whiskey and I haven't seen it elsewhere. Could this mean it only applies tot ...

Hi, I've been reading on this forum for months now and decided it is finally time to join. My name is Sebastiaan, age36 and I am a person that gets fascinated by all sorts of subjects. At the moment that is distiling my own spirits. This fascination started about one year ago. Since then I have gath...
