Safe to drink
How can I test my shine to make sure it is safe to drink? I have tasted it and it tastes good and strong. Just want to make sure I doesn't hurt anyone.

Re: Safe to drink
You take your chances like everyone else... 
Seriously, if you have done enough research, and have followed the safety guidelines for still construction, cleaned the still properly by following the forums cleaning guidelines, made proper cuts, and have diluted the resulting spirits to drinking strength, you shouldn't need to worry... If you don't have proper equipment to test spirit strength you can simply dilute until it no longer burns and it will be in the amply safe proof range...
