But I also believe that answering certain basic questions while satisfying a newbie’s curiosity will not help that person grow as a hobbyist. Some of those questions show that no amount of time was spent researching the hobby before buying a still and making 95% ABV etho.
I don't mean to pick on any one newbie but Isn’t that dangerous?am a bit confused on what to be doing with 95%
I don’t think that any amount of spoon feeding will make this person safer or make them enjoy the hobby more. I rather think that directing them to the main site, another thread or a sticky could encourage them to read a bit more from the site before attempting to run their still.so if i just take 95% and cut it to 100ish proof and toss some charred oak into it and let it sit it will make a whisky?
Yes I learn a lot from trial and error but reading keeps me safe and helps me make less mistakes. Not posting the most basic questions keeps the site educational and plain fun for all.
