I talked to a guy who’s father had a still, and he really liked the whiskey. Now he’s hot on building his own still.
4 or 5 other people expressed their approval when they sampled some of my whiskey. I have to say I was a bit surprised.
I redistilled a 5 gallon batch of whiskey that had too much tails in it. I was careful about tasting and smelling the whiskey along with checking the ABV and the temp. I didn’t let anything into the center cut that didn’t taste or smell good.
I guess it worked because I brought along some 100 proof whiskey that tasted pretty smooth. I realize that I have a long way to go before I can really claim to make good whiskey, but it was gratifying to make a palatable beverage that people would actually drink.
I would like to express my thanks to everybody on this board who shared their knowledge in order to help beginners like me.
and we had another slash. Five to ten minutes past and theres a tap on my shoulder, "Hey buddy, kin I get another taste?"

I think I've made a new friend.
Very glad I unlayered cloths rather than just reach for where it was. Like I said went on a camping trip and the fleece soaked it up. Couldn't tell by the outside of the soft side that a problem existed. It was flat like a Woodford bottle but not as heavy of glass. The Wooford bottle made it, twice now BTW. I put duct tape around the t-top cork to prevent poppage.
