Any beer you make from grain without adding the hops will make a reasonably good Whisky. ;)

This is what I mean, it's little nuggets of info like this, that get the old noggin thinking. I've got about 15 kgs of barley still left from this years brews, I think a grain wash is called for here. ;)

There are distilled hop products available, but I suspect the stills are not used for multiple products.

Like they say nothing ventured nothing gained. I've read also that hopped bear through a still leaves it in a mess.

All the best, let us all know how it works out.

Lemon and Ginger, sounds like the basic ingredient for a hot toddy, only need the honey. (And a dose of flu for an excuse to drink it)

Most of the posts that I have read where people have distilled hopped beers have not been very complimentary about the outcome. But there again I like Speckled Hen too much to think about putting it through a still.

Let us know how they turn out.

Blackcurrant is nice. I do a run and a half for most of my fruit fermentations.

Clear your wash and do a strip run on 1/2 of it. Add those low wines to the other 1/2 wash and do a spirit run.

I do like your idea tho about just giving one wine a go. I have enough rhubarb to spare 4 lts. Just needs to clear a little more.

If you have put the time and effort into a wine and it's nice, keep it. It seems a bit of a gamble to distil a nice wine on the off chance that you will get a nice spirit.

There are plenty of recipes around that will make a wash in a couple of weeks unlike the wines that probably have taken you months.

It's up to you, if you give one of them a go let us know how you get on.
