Damn, what a penetrating and calm look this dude has! My white and black envy all at once.

By the way, anyone to taste Dettling whiskeys? How divinely good are they?

Re: High rye wash in an electrical boiler?
I appreciate the direct answer. which leads me to believe, while using flaked rye at a low percentage, it won't cause you too much issues. So had I let my beer clear more, I might have been okay in the still. Luckily for us, unmalted rye (as steamed flakes) makes the scent and the mouthfeel which a...

Re: High rye wash in an electrical boiler?
So what is it about rye that scorches so easily? Is it unfermented sugars? I used flaked rye in my recipe. What did you guys use? *** *** *** My final question is, is it possible or impossible to distill a beer with rye in it on an ultra low watt density element? Well, it depends... the vapor-treat...

Carry out a single extractive distillation (vegetable oil or meat broth) on a copper alambic in a steam salt bath. Dilute the shoulder strap to a polugara strength of 38.5% vol. Add 40g of red rye malt + 10g of ground burnt barley + 3g of kelp to the infusion for the entire volume of the shoulder s...

Re: Noble Vodkas of Russia XVIII Century
I can imagine that fat washing the low wines would have some effect on removing flavours. Certain compounds are going to be more easily fat soluble than water / ethanol soluble (notably any oils present) and there's a reasonable chance of those fats remaining in the boiler. I would think that even ...

For the badass like 100% rye (either malted or not) those bad Russians got used to look for something like this:

Anything else is half measures and a path to fatal disappointments. Ms. Rye is worth the investment.

We had -32C this night and something -20C right now (noontime). Not a big difference.
The big difference was between home/outdoors. Over 50 in centigrade.
Snow?.. Yupp, we are simply drowning in it this winter.

By the way...
Here's my #6 handcrafted belt, kind of "antic". And a bottle decorated by the Missus.
Both thangs were just given to the eldest youngster. And I do hope the belt is to become (and remain) the family heritage.
As per the bottle... well, it's refillable.
