That thing looks like what I imagine sitting behind a pipe organ would look like. I wouldn't know where you start and what to push, but it'd be fun to try.

Yes. The spirit 'ripes' haha At 5:20 on 'harmonizing the alcohols' or 'riping' as he called it. WIth the long chain fatty acids (flavors, aromas) re-attaching 'log-on' to the arms of the ethanol molecule. Good stuff for sure. And he says 3 months to 4 years. Really gets me thinking about the topic discussed here http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... =4&t=38991

found a few things interesting. Aging at 160-180 proof (seen on labels) is one and the statement about experimenting and trying new things. Excellent video

i have been keeping up on that one also. so is the mircorwave just removing the more volital ethanol or are the microwaves heating the esters(conigers) or forming longer chains. i know from my chemistry class the more energy in the system the faster the reactions can take place. my problem is i cant keep anything for 3 months :roll:

there ya go. I get almost a gallon of 57%ish after cuts to age on oak from each 12 gallon AG of 25 lbs grain out of my 15.5 boiler with 2 runs. It builds up fast at 6 fifths of drinkin hooch per run, unless you have a serious drinkin issue LOL.

I don't know if I'd use the word 'fresh' in this context. :wtf:
