many thanks for the info, Otis!!

Today I did cuts and proofed down my batch of Wheat Vodka. I cut it up for various uses and ended up with: I am extremely happy with results of this all wheat vodka. It is much cleaner than my past sugar wash vodkas. Otis Hi, Otis, I'm curious, is your Wheat vodka all grain? Another question: do yo...

Interesting concept. For starters you might want to look into the major components of hop oils like myrcene, the other terpenes, etc. and see what their boiling points are. e.g.: https://blog.eckraus.com/what-are-hop-oils-explained" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel=&...

Welcome!

No, today's synthetic stuff. I'm looking for a way to have more surface area for more intense flavor before proofing it down. hmm I would avoid any synthetic unless it's a material known for ethanol and other organics resistance.

welcome, fellow Cali person! Your brewing experience will come in quite handy on the mashing/fermenting side of things. There's never been a better time for getting into home distilling. When I was your age (yes I just said that :lol: ) I had practically zero budget and a copy of a book from Loompan...

Hmmmmm…...Moon Rock, Pine Resin, Sumac, Oh my! Thanks for providing this info. This will provide many hours of investigation I am sure. Nice find :!: :thumbup: yeah, right, Sumac?? Interesting stuff. One of our many local distilleries taking a riff on classic dry gin is using local wild sage and ba...

oops, I hemmed and/or hawed over this going into Resources/Reviews vs Recipe Development but I was thinking more along the lines of usage of botanicals specifically, so I thought...recipes? my bad!

I'm very glad to be back and excited to re-join the hobby! The amount of info and materials available on the...
