TVZ anyone?

Yep.
Some days lend themselves to him don't they?

Constructive Criticism - Based on your beginning threads, you're having a helluva introduction to the hobby. I'll leave the hardware suggestions to other folks. The mash: 12 lbs Corn Flakes( process to meal) and 6 lbs table sugar. 1 packet of 24 hr. Turbo yeast in a 6 gallon Brew Ohio bucket. The co...

+1 I've probably had 20 different dogs - my Dad would take them in to foster. And I've had my share as an adult. When friends dogs died, I'd tell them, "oh that's too bad" - and I meant it. Then several years ago I got MY DOG. His puppy picture is my Avatar. He would insist on riding everywhere wit...

2012 jeez.

Not sure how "natural" grits are - or are not - in Australia. Mostly a cost thing. Around here 50 pounds of corn - whole or cracked - is around $8 - $10 compared to as much as half that cost for a 5 pound bag of "artisan" grits or polenta. Then just grind it yourself. And that's not rocket science, ...

However my guy at the homebrew supply is swearing to me that any non malted grains will not convert to sugars, regardless of what else is in there (thus non-malted rye or wheat included in the recipe would not convert, but would only add flavor etc). I believe you have "qualified" "your guy" :mrgre...

Welcome to HD. The hobby is nothing like the tv series. It's lots more fun then that. Enjoy the forums.

And a lot more expensive and time consuming...

Perhaps. But I used to play golf.
As frustrating as this sometimes is, NO comparison.

Welcome Down The Rabbit Hole!

Currently operating on a pretty 5g copper alembic. Vinegar run and cleaning run done, 5g of SSW about to go in this weekend. Welcome Down The Rabbit Hole. I have a 5 gallon copper pot. Only thing to offer is that one of the first things I learned is a larger mash is about the same effort as a small...

more information needed. If you were running a Tried & True, it's better to post it in that discussion thread. If you WEREN'T running a T&T, just another example of why you should. Doesn't guarantee you won't have a problem, but a helluva lot easier to solve when - I mean IF- you do. For example, ju...

Hi Coondick - (did you order one yet?)

Welcome Rick! As you have figured by now, George is not held in very high regards around here. In his "defense", he has SOME good information, but it's mixed in with all the crap. And the nature of youtube and his videos is that it's much better organized than the good/CORRECT information found here...

Silverbean I was thinking to start with UJSSM first, but I have changed my mind because a lot of experienced home distillers said that AG is way better than UJSSM. I agree with you that it’s easier to start and learn with easy recipes. You might take a look at Jimbo's EASY 1/2 Barrel Wheated Bourbo...

Welcome Down The Rabbit Hole!

I am NOT advocating using Turbo Yeast This is playing a little devil's advocate because I'm curious. First of all, before I got here I also thought, 'Hey TURBO yeast! It's got everything!" but I quickly learned and have never tried it. But as I understand it, the "benefit" is that is contains nutrie...

@ Tdick : About that, "Black people reacting to Blue-eyed Soul" video: That song is more than 50 years old. It is famous. It just never occurred me that any adult American would not automatically know who the Righteous Brothers were. My bad; just call me stupid. The Righteous Brothers and many othe...

Maybe.. maybe not... 8L of stripped and 8L of water gave you what as a starting abv in the boiler.. Without knowledge of those number are still in the not starting to get it yet.. the basic that most every one new forgets to do.. and with those numbers, how are you know what is happening in the run...

Not sure if this will work. Pasting this post about rum by Chauncey as to his professional expertise behind the bar. Seems like it would probably be good with soda and lime, help cut down the syrupy ness. I assume its sweetened already? Id do some sweet lime if it isnt too sweet, like roses and some...

Fifteen year old post
Worthy of a bump.
How times have changed!

It’s on right now.

I'm not interested in trying an agave from scratch, but I got a newsletter from BSG today that included this.

Maybe I missed it Dies anybody have a scaled down version
Maybe 5-10 gal mash
Thank you

I see that you are NOT a noob.
One of the first things I learned it takes just a little more effort to make a large enough mash for 3-4 stripping runs for a good spirit run.

Plus, it'll keep for a while.
