Seriously though, I get it. I trust you that you think it's good. Drink what makes your soulshine. But we all know exactly what it tastes like. And all but like 2 or 3 of us run that shit again. Turns out you can actually polish a turd.

Keep it small, during the learning process.
You can learn more from several small attempts.
Than you can from one large fuck up.

There is no technology that replaces aging in a barrel. The sooner you start the less likely it will still be in the barrel when you die.

Making cuts on single-run turbo hooch is akin to filtering muddy water with a strainer. A second distillation purifies and aligns alcoholic constituents in a condensed, more linear fashion.
That deserves a quote

The flavor and smell are great. Super Smokey with some nice sweet corn notes, a little salty. I think it tastes amazing and could sip on the white dog all day (if I didnβt have to work and liked my liver).
Wife hated it, she described it as accidentally taking a drink of a beer that someone had put out a cigarette or two in.

This from the opening paragraph from The Inventions And Customs Of The Ancients And Moderns In The Use And Manufacture Of Inebriating Liquors:
"Among these, the preservation of fruit and their juices, however rudely practiced, might have led the use of inebriating drink; a beverage which, as will hereafter be shewn, has been discovered by some of the moist savage nations, and deemed a luxury by the almost universal testimony of mankind"
