Doing a spirit run of 10gallons of Low wines today..    (low wines = 50% by volume collections from many ferments, and "stripping runs" on the still.).

should end up with about 4 gal of the GOOD stuff..  (190proof rocket fuel)

[Motorrad]

still is currently running at 97% alc volume..   thats 194 PROOF!!

Just cracked open some Whiskey I have been ageing on  oak.

I cut the oak down myself (the entire tree).     then harvested JUST the center HEART wood..     

cut it up  LONG grain.    (not much end grain, as this causes lots of tannins),   toasted it myself.


every day, I let it heat up in the hot garage,  and at night, toss it in the refridgerator,   to simulate the hot and cold that normal whiskeys age with back east....



lets jsut say....


YUM..

just switched her off...    how long was that?   

edit:  10.5 hours..    not too shabby    I ran her SLOOOOOOOW also.   vs what she will do (being a 4" bubble collumn)..    just to have PERFECTLY refined for my buddy...

[Motorrad]

Oh.. and most of the run I was cruising 98% by volume..    THATS 196 PROOF PEOPLE!


and.. of course...  I had to sample it all day...   gotta taste for cuts.  

Dont think I can walk straight.


tried somthing fun on this batch also.   since most will turn into "apple PIE"

I tossed some cinimon sticks,   and 2gal of apple juice in the still durring the run...      so some of the flavors would come over in the Spirit...  (kind of how they make some gin's and absinthe)

[sandblaster]

Mmmmm, Apple pie
