Hi.....I'm new here.

Post by JamesBond »

Hello, all. I've been stilling for a few years now, but still feel like I don't know what I'm doing 100%. I thought I'd seek some info and wisdom here. I run a 5 gallon copper pot still from North Georgia Stills. Usually run a corn, barley and sugar wash, but want to incorporate some rye malt to hopefully get close to the flavor of "Climax" brand moonshine. I LOVE that rye flavor !! Anyway, I'm Tom and I look forward to learning a lot here.

Welcome to HD, unfortunately none of us have 100% of the answers. I also love my rye whiskey and make it using Jimbo’s Single Malt AG recipe substituting the Barley for Rye and reducing the percentage to accommodate my fermenters and still size. Good Luck.

Just thought I would have seen a martini introduction, not rye whiskey! Welcome bud :thumbup:

Welcome Tom. My biggest improvement in quality was when i changed from a 5 gallon boiler to a 15 gallon keg. Cuts are much easier at higher volume.
