[goose eye]

I need to throw up a flag.

Goose eye: Let me say first that i love to read your posts. Clearly you listened well to what you've been tole but God help me if i don't have the hardest time understanding half of what your saying. The unbroken emulsion of sage like country wisdom, colloquial speech and salt of the earth metaphors is at the same time profound and confounding. So, I’ll keep plodding along looking for the nuggets of gold that I’m sure are in there.

Patients and persistence are both virtues or so I’m tole.

Usually I can just go to freetranslation.com when I need a translation. They need to add southern as a language in there.

dont think goose has a southern drawl. more of a cajun twang. Also the metaphors he throws in are quite a hoot, but at times, hard to decipher.

if i remember correctly goose eye used the term double and twistin in 1 of his early post.

I believe that to mean, thru thumper 1st, then twistin thru a copper coil. Is that right goose?

Most of what he says, I think I can figure out. I try to just read it as literally as possible.

hillbilly double an twistin - aint got a doublein keg - 2 runs
single footin - you got a doublein keg - 1 run

twistin is the second run when you squeezein the low wines an
aint got to be a worm can be condencer

Hillbilly, in Golden Pond, the term "Double & Twist" meant to put all your first run liquor back in the still and run it off agin. Had nothing to do with a thumper at all, most did not use thumpers.

i know this is an old post but it sure is entertaining!! doubling is a second cooking. twisting is what the whiskey does when it comes out the worm. the flow is supposed to have a twist in it because of the high proof. so im tole!

[pintoshine]

When there is enough volume, such as golden pond runs, there is a definite twist in it.

This is water on the left and "Doubled and Twisted" on the right.
Cool ain't it? You notice the water is broken. It does that at about 40P. The stuff on the left is 180P and it stays together for 8 inches or more. That is how I know when the tails are there.
I run it "Doubled and twisted" until it "Breaks at the worm".

[junkyard dawg]

cool pics pintoshine...

[goose eye]

pintoshine round here they say you can hear it around 80 proof
what you cookin that you can take to middlein 20s fore you get tails

[pintoshine]

what you cookin that you can take to middlein 20s fore you get tails

Thank you for pointing out my mistake. On the tails cut I meant 40% not 40P. I'll maintain a little higher heads but I don't care for the tails much.
And to answer your question, this was from one of my super fast, pure blackstrap molasses batchs, two runs through a pot with a thumper and it is the first part of the hearts. This stuff has a scent and flavor of butterscotch and buttered rum.
I doesn't mix with anything well but is excellent on the rocks after it has been cut and aged on oak brands.

round here with brandy backins seem to start high.
there was this ole man use to catch a bit an throw on the kettle an let it run down to the fire to make sure it would burn - should flame up an yellow means it aint long - on 1st charge. he would get every drop of likker he could. made for some long nites so im tole

="pintoshine" The stuff on the left is 180P and it stays together for 8 inches or more.

Do you mean the stuff on the right?

That's a good side by side pic. Thanks.

Cheers,

I must have been asleep because I must have previewd that post a dozen times before hitting submit. Just goes to show ya I am not as perfect as I wish I was

[blanikdog]

Strewth, I've been trying to understand goose's 'doublin an twistin' but he's accent was a little strong fer me. I love your post's goose. They keep my mind workin.

Best thing is that I found this thread and found it all translated. Thanks goose, you save me stuffing around with a thumper. I was 'doublin an twistin' but didn't know it.

[CoopsOz]

Wish I had found the thread b4 my little experiment!

Yairrrs coops, I was watching your work with intense interest. I had even begun gathering stuff for my new thumper.

I managed to get three dozen FREE bottles of shiraz and put it through the old potstill yesterday. That's the trouble with living in a wine area. It was going to be my first batch through the new thumper. Guess I'll just have to continue doublin and twistin.
