Re: Experiment: 4 different distilling methods with same wash

I can’t wait to hear the resulting taste tests, I’ve jumped into this sea with both feet and purchased a 26gal, dual heater 4” Flute system from Mile Hi and this is the kind of stuff I want to learn. Mr Higgins, what a cool write up and learning opportunity,

Cheers!
