Home Distiller

I support anyone doing anything with free fermentable supplies. All I would say is set expectations low so you will be pleasantly surprised if it turns out well.

Stumbled upon this and I'm curious how it turned out, got any updates DisLexi? Yes I do! I read this somewhere before, and it really stuck with me after spending a good amount of time on that rum.

Give it plenty of time tho, so it is best to start another ferment as soon as you can, even a sugar wash or molasses wash. Th...

TLDR: I have apple cider that just finished fermenting, do I need to wait for it to settle out, or can I just run it. This is my first post, other than the introduction post. Please realize that I have tried my best to search for an answer before posting this. I have a memory disorder, so it makes i...

Welcome, you will want to follow the many fruity threads of our friend Cranky. Cranky has done much with apples, and is a fellow NW member. Oh don’t worry, Cranky is basically my idol right now.

I am also in WA! We should see if we are close to each other, as I always am looking for a fermentation buddy!
