[Singlemalt]

[Singlemalt]

in Portugal people make this refugee moonshine from the grape stalk leftovers from making winer. you know which one those webby thin one. I know weird but strong as fuck and you juuust about get her into you, anyways I remember they used to distill vinegar between runs. Is that something the rednecks do too? WHat kind of proof would you get if you distilled it twice man? WHat if you add a few pounds of fruit too to the mash?I know in the fucking balkans they make somethiung similar to what you said up there but with plums. By fuck does it get you some kind of fucking drunk, rakyja they call it. I was told it can reach 80 to 90% alcohol i tried one that was around 80 and a couple of shots did more than the trick! Im sure you could clean grease with it.

Its called Grappa in Italy; theoretically the max alcohol % percent obtainable with distillation is 95% due to physics/chemistry

I'm afraid the only way a thought will penetrate THAT skull is if you write it on the side of a lawn jart, a la carrier pigeon with a twist.

calm down jimmy!!.......jeeeeess.

thats what i heard on i was just concernd.

theres lots of polish and russians do it wrong in uk .

TIP :if your going to distill it once you might aswell distill it three times......triple distilled russian vodka style 100% proof :}

If you don't know what your doing or don't have anyone with shining experience with you then don't try it by yourself!!!!

Always use some copper in the still.
Copper catalyses the breakdown of esters and sulfuric compounds in the vapor steam
Copper avoids the production of ethylcarbamat
Copper improves the overall quality and aroma
Copper is a great conductor of heat

Imo it's best to have a stainless pot with a copper dome and pipe.

Proof isn't the same as percent 100 proof =50%

Distilling for vodka (=neutral spirits) is generally done by reflux distillation; you get just the alcohol up to 95% (more often 90%) and no flavor. That is then cut with water down to 40-50% (80-100 proof). For other liquors (whiskies, brandys, tequila, etc) pot-distillation is the method because some characteristic innate flavors come along

[B166ER420]

Stainless steel is just that ....stainless,easy to clean



Tradition is all copper with a thumper and natural spring water,of course homegrown corn.I'm still working on the homegrown corn part myself.

Charcoal filtering imparts some flavors and gives that caramel color we see in whisky,bourbon,tequila,as well as filtering out any organic compounds left over after distillation.

 

[bradburry]

all correct ^^^

you can distill any organic material ....potatoe vodka was a favorite in the wolrd war camps for the british


not sure what they used as a still .......probly something like a ganjaguru india guys clay still or something like @Finshaggy would so kindly teach us to make

old oak barrels give that to scotish malt ..........the colour

No?

 

[bradburry]

No?

then you are an old american moonshine man....yes
