Point taken. I've ordered old fashioned cork stopper to swap out.

Also "artificial cork" sounds like it might be a plastic that you'd want to keep away from your nice alcohol. Thanks for the heads up on the stoppers. I bought them with the bottles from packagingoptionsdirect.com Here's what they say about the stoppers: "This black stopper cork is de...

I ended up mixing the AG with the sugarhead and aged it in a 5 liter barrel at 110pr for six months, tasting every so often. Took it out of the barrel today and added it to enough distilled water to lower it to 88pr then put it in 750ml new bottles with new "artificial cork" stoppers. Came...

It's May in the mountains and time to try again: 5/1/2021 9:55am 65F ambient temp start heat on 10 gal tap water (set out for 4 days) plus 2 gal backset from 1/30/21 plus 4 tsp gypsum.

Make sure the picture is taken with the location services "OFF." If not, embedded GPS info will transfer to anything you post on this site: co-ordinates, street address, city, state, etc. and anyone with medium computer skills can find out exactly where the photo was taken.

Hello Mr. Brick Thanks for your critique on my attempt. My corn was cracked feed corn, no where near meal size. So I think the issues I need to correct are: crack size, temperature, and addition of HT alpha amylase enzymes. Lessons learned and will be applied. Next ferment will use corn meal, be dil...

OK. This is my first attempt at an AG distillation. It is my 10th distillation in the last 2 years of this hobby. Others were Wineo's Sugar Wash and various grain plus sugar attempts that ended with various degrees of success, or lack thereof. I'm determined to keep trying Jimbo's recipe/procedure u...

My kids got me a 10 gal North Georgia Still Co set up with a thumper. I've been using a 5 gallon alembic (?) type for a few years and always complained about the small size. The kids said they ordered it for my birthday in the summer, but were advised by the company that they were so far behind that...

The REAL ones that live around me drive new ones too.

I really enjoy the scenery and the forest shoots. I know that the episode where the dog "sweetie pie" was bitten by a snake, that part was real. We use the same veterinarian group he took his dog to, and the staff confirmed to me the dog was indeed snake bitten. I also recognize some of th...

For those that use tap water: Do you do something to get rid of the chlorine? Why or why not and how?

Welcome!

Greetings all! I have been at the edge of this for a few years. I am a pharmacist and my business partner and I bought a pot still a while back for fun and have made maybe a total of 6 runs, but really had to flavor the stuff to make it drinkable. We've also been buying grain alcohol to make hand sa...
