hello from the great white north..
my handle is shven.i live near Buffalo ..where we measure snow in feet .. not inches..lol
I've made 2 runs.. a sugar wash was my first and it made a nice vodka that I turned around and killed by adding candy's to the mix for flavor. dropped my alcohol levels way down in to the 40 proof range..
my second run was a corn malted barley ,and rye..
I totally messed that up by scorching ..the finish product was just terrible.
so I am now trying a rum run .. blackstrap and dark brown sugar..I used turbo rum yeast.. which took right off and is almost ready to distill..
I got intrested in the hobby after a visit to gatlinburg with the fam this last summer..
I fell in love with all the great flavors..
I bought a 5 gallon seeutek still one night drunk surfing the net from Amazon..
it needs replaced already.. I'm looking to buy a 10 gal or 13 gal.. hoping the wife gets the hints and tells Santa..lol..
well I'm glad to be here. I've been lurking for awhile.. learning g as I read from all of you.. thanks for having me.
smile with those big red eyes..
shven..

Re: Hello all
Feels like it sometimes! Don’t worry though, it gets better. Once you get over not knowing what you don’t know, this is a great bunch of folks to hang out with.
Learn from the past, live in the present, change the future.

Re: Hello all
Howdy Shven,
I'm from the Great White North too, just west of you by 1500 km or so. We don't get your snow, but we plug our cars in the winter to make sure they start after a long cold night. Sorry to hear about your first couple of batches. Keep at it, it's a steep learning curve but when it clicks, all of a sudden it is a new game.
