First Death Wish

Post by lonestarrenegade »

Hi everyone, just completed my first run, use the Death Wish wash, and it turn out great.
I would like to thank everyone on this forum, wouldn't have been able to do it without y'all.
I am running a all copper 5 gal reflux still (I will put pics up later).

Everything turned out great, tastes good and strong, used bakers yeast instead of champagne and let it sit for a week and half instead of 3 days.

I had a hard time with my first run. Other than having to do a lot of repairs right when I was at about temp ( didn't have problems during cleaning or sac run), 36 degree weather, pouring rain, it was AWESOME!!!! Nature of the beast :D y'all are great, every answer I needed was here. I will keep you updated. Thanks again. Lonestar.
