Rager,

Scottish single malts are 100% peated barley. The differences between one and the next are in the barley variety and level of peat smoke, measured in phenols, which is a result of the process used (100% peat fuel or blended with coal etc). The island of Islay is known to have the smokiest of the Scotches commercially available. Here's an interesting writeup http://whiskyscience.blogspot.com/2011/02/peat.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
In theory there's no difference between theory and practice. But in practice there is.

I got one of those "Because you bout ( insert thing here ) you might like" emails from amazon the other day. It had controller parts and try clamps and such but the last thing on the list was a one pound package of DADY. I think homeland security could benefit from amazons system.

The only problem is see is you have to figure what to use the liquor cabinet for. My solution would be to keep the cheap bonded likker in it for guests you don't care for.

If ur using trash cans to ferment, put em up high before filling them if you plan to siphon when you rack.

Now you know why you stopped by here...we all been there. Good talk!

I have used co2 to help age and bottle! I have recently acquired a 6 tap with ice cooler ball lock coke dispenser. I plan to keep several on tap like brewskies. Is this wrong? Well, have you ever tried carbonated whiskey? It's different!

Jb I gave up on a cabinet. I got bottles, jugs and jars everywhere. Speed out the wealth and you won't realize how far ahead your gettin. Hoping that buy the end of the year I got 3 gallons of malted corn, wheat and rye tucked in the barn for a good nap

Haha, picked up on a freebie Sodastream a few days ago to mess with, it has me thinking a lot lately. And yeah I am looking for a new refrigerator to convert for kegging again, and one may be reserved for some special stuff. The boss likes her coconut rum cold.

Hope all went well Jimbo. I guess you won't be climbing apple trees any time soon. Maybe you should avoid that activity in the future anyway.

What is this, we all going into the busted up season? You getting knee surgery, Frodo's wife having problems, I think others are having problems too. Damn, maybe I need to stay away from you guys before I catch something. :lol:

seriously, hope your recovery is speedy and full. :thumbup:

I've never even bought yeast on Amazon, just controller parts and tri-clamps :roll: They put that together to come up with the DADY recomendation. Maybe it's a good thing for us those programmers work for Amazon rather than someone else because they know what all of us are up to :wtf: Forget big brother Big A is watching.

Welcome back RR glad to see you :D

I know, I figure the government can't afford their programmers is the only reason we still have terrorists in the world.

Another one was I was looking at Anise seed for Galliano, of course they have a list of "Customers who bought this item also bought" Lets see, Hysop, wormwood and various other absinthe ingredients :problem:

Just to be clear, you don't have to even buy something. Just searching and looking at items influences your suggestions.

I haven't been able to tell if Amazon has trackers on other websites, yet. :econfused:

Glad to hear it wasn't a pickin' finger. At least with the knee, you have an excuse to have your wife fetch beers for you. Take advantage of THAT while you can.

Hope your recovery is a quick one.
