How to know if it's any good?
Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 7:00 am
So I finally made my pot still and did some test runs. First was plain water then water with a jug of cheap wine and then I tried going straight to an all malted barley, but I have no idea if my end product is even worth aging. I know it won't taste like Scotch/Whiskey without aging, but I sure wish I new if what I had was even worth aging. I certainly wouldn't enjoy drinking it as it is now. I still have it in 7 mason jars to separate my cuts since I wanted it to sit a couple of days before trying to blend it.
I know this is personal taste, but in general should what comes out be somewhat palatable after a couple of days or does it take much longer? I can definitely taste the difference from the heads to hearts to tails, but even the hearts aren't all that pleasant at the moment.
Thanks,
