Hallo evryone ... especially Wineo, Hucs, LWCS, Hook, and so many other of you that I have come to grow and luv over the past 6 months!!!
Yes a noob in practice but a well educated one (Read a good portion of the entire forum over the past 6 months.)
I have but only one question at the present, as my perusal over the last 6 months have provided 95% of the answers to my noob questions.
Can anyone link me a pdf to the set-up instructions for the EE PS II High Capasity complete kit from Brewhause?
I have one coming in the post in a few days and would like to get a head start on setting it up.
OK now for the boaring part... my background....(Skip if you just want to link me the PDF...lol)
I have fermented many things over the past 20 years... beers (I made a Mackasen that can't be distingished for the commercial one..my favorite But labor intensive) wines (I tryed to perfect cabernet solvioun 'sry about spelling' but could never get it to what I like).... and my most successful endever MEAD (Honey wine)..
So successful that I started a small commecial Meadery with my nephew, (We won 2nd place at the first International Mead Fest in Chicago 2002 for our Hybiscus Methegen)... Always wanted to distill some of that but never got around to it.
So I'm no noob to fermintation and know much about the 'Theory" of distillation (From this forum)
What I want to do:
1. Distill neutruls (WSSW) for clean vodka (Ok Rum but you know what I mean) (A clean 'no hangover every day drink that mixes with everything)
ATM I have three 5 gallon batches of WSSW fermenting (on third day) waiting for the still to arive.
2. Easy (Read low maintence like UJSSM) Whisky washes to produce something close to: (I know alot has to do with ageing afterwards for final taste of product)
a. A good scotch (Perhaps UJSSM but use Malted barly insted?)
b. something close to Crown Royal
c. somthing close to Gentleman Jack (A Better Jack Daniels..)
Well there you have it...Just some real simple objectives...not a lot of "What if...(I did this or that...)
I have already learned a lot from this forum and will gladly share what I learn to anyone who asks...
Thank you all for sharing your expierences with me.... and pleasent times to all.
At your service and your families too!!!

Welcome.

No, sorry. Doesn't Brewhaus provide a set of instructions? In any case, you are probably going to have to run your still a few times to get the feel of it anyway. You obviously know what it is supposed to do, you now just need to "mess about" with it to get it to make what you want. Just part of the fun.Vulture wrote:Any idea where I can get a PDF on the insrtuctions?
