Givin stillers a bad name

Post by vicrider »

A friend of mine ( who doesn't know I still ) asked me today if I knew where he could find a little shine. I told him I might know where to check. :wink: He told me he was having a hard time finding any lately and the last he got had CORN still in it! He was told the still overflowed a little but it was OK. :( I think I might give him a freebie just to show him there is still a little pride left in somebody's craft. V

So many folks nowdays just don't give a shit.

"Ooops got a little something in there, ah to hell with, I'll just leave it".

Gift your friend one of your hand crafted. Made with astute attention to detail (and cuts) and let the chap wonder who should produce such fine inebriant. May he be left to wonder the valleys looking for the maker of this Nectar of the Gods. 8)

That would have to be a serious rolling boil, to be able to puke corn into the output :shock:

Nice to know most of us are doin somethin right. The only time I ever get corn in the likker is when I'm tasting the sweetfeed mash. :esurprised:
