From lussia with Rove...

The components of my single pot still.
Unmalted, toasted, petroglyphed...
Now bubbling / to be triple stilled.

[Chug]

Running some simple sugar shine today, but I’m also taking the opportunity to make the stilling shed a little more cozy as well by installing a tv and a new wood stove!

[Deplorable]

I was planning a spirit run of caramel corn bourbon today, but her indoors reminded me I have a dentist appointment at noon, so after that I'm making a run for more corn. The spirit run will have to wait another day.

Caramel corn bourbon sounds excellent!

Well, get on the HDHH call tomorrow and I'll probably be in the middle of the run. I can give you a run down on it. I'll even start the run later than usual just for the sake of the call.

Looking good Chug nice and cozy

[VLAGAVULVIN]

a new wood stove!

Hey Chug... so nice to warm up by the stove. Maybe, it's not my business but is there below a piece of carpet in front of its door, man? And too close to the plywood wall, imo. Please, be more carefull.

[Deplorable]

I'm about to crank the heat and strip the remainder of this spirit run of Caramel wheated bourbon. Man, this stuff is delicious right off the spout. I need to find me some more gallon jugs. after this run, I'm down to storage for one more run, but I've got grains for 3 more ferments.

Yep, for sure, I need to put stone tile behind the stove to deflect the heat. As to the floor, I think I’ll get one of those heat-resistant BBQ mats or a bit of wool carpet.

I find this mesmerizing to watch!

I’m finally doing a spirit run on my first AG whiskey. The low wines have been resting for months, waiting for me to get a moment to run them. First impression as it’s coming off the spout: “Holy crap! Now I see what they were talking about!” I thought my various sugar shines were good, but this is a totally different thing!

For me, sugar is a thing of the past. AG is just too good for a little more work.

[Jstroke]

Finished stripping two barrels. Low wines will have to wait until back off the road

[jonnys_spirit]

Well I didn’t make anything but I found these hidden at work today. I might pop one open and see if there’s any rotgut in there

I’ve heard of folks throwing in say maybe a gallon of water and letting it sit for a bit then emptying.

Cheers!

Did a spirit run on first 3 ujssm generations today. Looking for something to help keep my hands off the HBB and Panella Rum….

[JAMAWG]

Have a sugar nutral spirit run going. Trying out the compressing heads thing. Added sodium carbonate to two stripping runs. Watered it down a lot. Going low and slow. Also started a "tequila" wash. Gallon of blue agave syrup and 5 gallons of water. Just wanted to give it a test run. And damn the yeast are loving it. Going almost as strong as a turbo wash. Bubbling like mad!

[Steve Broady]

I blended my first AG bourbon today. The cuts were way wider than I expected, but both my wife and I agreed on them. I’m certainly not complaining about getting more good booze!

[squigglefunk]

I cooked up 40 lbs of rice and man that sheet is a sticky mess lol

rice glue baby

Mixed in some magical yellow angel starter of liquor this morning, I'll be back around 11 pm tonight to give it a good stir and hopefully it will be going full power magically delicious

[Bradster68]

Boiling 11 gallons of water for 25lbs corn.gonna do my first all corn. Using cracked

run that cracked corn through your malt mill and you'll get better conversion. My Hull Wrecker handles cracked corn just fine, but Id never try to feed it whole kernel.

I'm using the ratio you just posted. Been meaning todo for a while now. I'll run through the mill first.

Hey Sqiggle, do use the 2#'s per gallon ratio when doing rice? I've done a little searching but haven't seen this yet.

A rice chocolate malt whiskey has taken hold in my brain and it's gonna have to happen after I get a barrel full of rum aging.

I prob aim for around that, or a little under. I got 60lbs of rice for a 39 gal. fermenter, I started with 40lbs and I am going to add another 20lbs tonight, and prob more water. In the end I will have the fermenter near full. Kind of a step ferment thing going on because I was too lazy to do all 60 lbs of rice the other night.

this angel yeast yellow cake really does go nuclear on the grains. The rice looked like it was boiling last night when I checked on it.

Thanks for the reply. I am thinking 50lbs rice and 15 to 20lbs of a specialty malt in a 40 gallon ferment to get enough low wines for a spirit. Will be using Yellow Label as well.

Bottled a two week-old spirit Run of my Gin ! Yielded 16 bottles and looks very promising. I'm pretty much settled on this Gin recipe and ready to try a different botanical mix to make something different - I need a smaller Gin boiler!

[EricTheRed]

Mashed in 3 x 50L fermenters with
* 7.66 kgs corn flour
* 3.33 rolled oat flour
* 43 L of water
* Alpha enzymes
* Gluco enzymes

Started Maceration on a blueberry GIN

[Deplorable]

Modified a spare lid I had for my milk can from 2" to 3" so I could run the new 3 inch pot I got last week. Not sure why the pictures loaded in reverse order.

[Deplorable]

Just need to clean it tomorrow, and it'll be ready to run the HBB that's clearing in the buckets behind the still.
