And found them very informative and full of good ideas for things to try at a later date. For Christmas I thru a candy cane in my mason jars and let it disolve. My friends loved it.
It was quick simple and cheap. I know its cheating, but what can I say. Have any of you just tossed something in the shine to give it flavor? If so, what?

I did read the Nuke post. Got alot of good ideas from it, that I will be trying here very soon. But I had people wanting something flavored for the holidays and they were not in the mood to wait.

When I first started out several years ago I tried all sort of things, vanilla beans, port wine, ect ect, but the deeper I get into it I've stopped favoring. All I favor with now is charred oak and time. Hard to beat.

But it is fun to make something different for friends. I just pulled out a jar of pumpkin pie shine that I put away around Halloween and it does in fact taste exactly like pumpkin pie! Kind of a surprise that it turned out like it did, and people really seem to like it. Too "flavored" for me, but a successful experiment anyway.

Tell them to bring something they like. Have a feints jug for them that don't get the message easy.Fermented1 wrote:I did read the Nuke post.
