Sorry to hear of the Health issues VT.
You are too far from me,
I hope you receive a decent donation for your kit.
It is possible to distill in small spaces, is it not?

ATB

Hi all.

I have a beer fridge which is a Seimens intergrated type fridge controlled by an ITC-1000
It isn't fitted into a unit but is used as stand alone on a worktop.

This is FREE for collection only, along with as much FREE homebrew gear you can carry, but a small donation would be appreciated.
My reason for sale is that I am moving into a sheltered apartment due to ill health.
My location is about 5 miles East of Norwich.

Anyone interested please PM me.

That seems a remarkably tasty recipe you have detailed Mash. If I was an All Grain Brewer I would immediately have tried it out.

This thread seems to have already wandered off centre, so I might observe that the efforts of the all grain brewers I have had the pleasure of knowing, over the years, have produced brews which one can only marvel at. My own first reaction, on sampling such, was that it didn't taste like the popular beers available in Pubs. Gradually learning that that was exactly the intention,was a part of my taste education.

Much the same can be said of one's attempts in producing an all grain whisky. The intention is not to replicate commercially produced whisky but rather to produce the best possible whisky, limited at all times, by ones knowledge, materials, equipment and time.

My own product, whilst tasting unlike any commercial whisky is highly thought of by whisky drinkers of my acquaintance., and not simply because it's free. One would really have to be dim witted to spend an evening drinking an inferior whisky simply because it wasn't costing. Life is really far too short for such mindless frugality.

I refer here to diluting the strip to sub 30% for the spirit run .
This is accepted as common practice by commercial distillers and home ones alike.
It seems to be the percentage that allows for the cleanest cuts.

I suggest 20+% Fores/heads
And depending where you stop collecting, maybe 30% Tails.
You don't get owt for nowt.
Those numbers relate to units in the boiler.
For best results do dilute to sub 30%.

Robert.

Interesting, why dilute to minus 30%

Great!
Thanks Mash. How many litres of malt whisky do you think this brew will produce after twice through the still?

Robert.

(I will cut and paste, just in case I ever do AG beer)

This makes a good argument for doing longer runs as opposed to several short ones. You spend more time in the " sweet spot"
True ,true, true.
The larger the run, the less time messing with cuts.

I'm not sure just how much a 1/10,000th of a gallon is: my nearest calculation is roughly 16/100ths of a fluid ounce.

Looks like quantum physics here we come.

Well done Mash!
