Re: New from Cincinnati
Welcome Dave! This is a great place to learn to craft a dram you will be able to be proud of.
I was in Dayton for several years after college, but I have been back in WV for well over thirty years.
Enjoy your stay!

Re: Proper Scotch Mashing
Totally fascinating post! Thanks for pulling it back to life, Kiwi.
Yeast is a major element in the flavor profiles of each of our favorite whiskys, for that reason many distilleries carefully propagate and gaurd their own distinctive proprietary cultivar of yeast.

Re: Thoughts on using this as a condensor?
A cutoff wheel in an angle grinder should make cutting slots in the fins relatively easy. That style fintube usually has fairly stout fins. With slots, a fintube cold finger could make a slick condenser for the Dad300 condenser controlled still. Very interesting material. I am interested in how it w...

Re: anyone ever take a timeout from stilling and drinking
I step back about a month most years to make sure I can. I am currently trying to drop some tonnage so I have reduced my pours to 15ml or less in a Glencairn glass covered with a watch glass. I nurse these tiny pours for hours and really savor the flavor. It is much more enjoyable that totally absta...
