Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.
Hello shiners. I met an old moonshiner a few weeks ago and he was putting glycerin in everything. Said it makes it all come together. (of course he also said that "inverting sugar don't do shit" and he mixed some home made merlot with an awesome whiskey to make a "brandy", personally I think he just ruined the whiskey!!! )
But anyway, is that glycerin a good idea to invest in? I have a corn whiskey aging on some toasted hickory right now and while it tastes O.K. I can't help but think that I could add some glycerin to help it mellow out a tad. Anyone do this??
Can I make my own glycerin?? Melted sugar in water??
