What I Did Today

[Anavrin]

Today I made a start on my guarage clean up, I've got coloured cement dust all over my still and most of everything within 6ft of the guarage doors!!

Getting there anyway








Feels like I'm starting again, only this time I know what I'm doing lol.

[Easydrinker]

Do say that you will be there Gazza,
The smoked ribs sound good
Anavarin will be there with his cementy brew, or I will eat my hat

Might be cement rum, that's what's getting stripped first, I'm off to Holland And Barret for some more molasses this afternoon.

Game on

[Easydrinker]

No problem sir, but like all good things
cant be rushed, takes time

It is notice, not time methinks!

I have been sniffing milk bottles lol

found a use for the old pint glass milk bottles, all with advertisements printed on.

this is my product from a slow, very slow run from a 9 gallon charge of DWWG wash 14%, all standing to attention,

[Easydrinker]

Wow!
What a collection of old milk bottles!
And what a good use for them.
Thanks for posting the pics, makes it more 'real'.
I use half litre'ish vinegar bottles for the same job.
May your finished product reward you.

Today I turned 95% ( 1.263ltr ) neutral into 40% using ( 1.737ltr ) Tesco Ashbeck water and filled a preloved Smirnoff 3 ltr bottle

water in first then add the 95% feel the bottle it gets warm and misty but it always clears to crystal clear, never cloudy,

tomorrow I am going to try some 65% fores in an old Monitor 25 Brass Blowlamp, as I have some oak barrel sticks I need crocodile charring,

It's OK, I don't see danger,

[Easydrinker]

Keep doing it dude.
We have adopted you already.

not today, but yesterday had no joy with the blowlamp so I did this

more than one way to do a job,

and then I did this

now today it looks like this

It is not as dark as it looks,

I also ordered some Premium Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla pods to add to the mix.

[Squint]

getting in front of myself now but tomorrow I am going to put a tap in each of the twins, because I am fed up syphoning,

[Mash]

Instead you will have leaks.... Don't do it.

The vanilla pods work well. I have a recipe using those, oak and crystal malt... Very nice indeed.

[Toper]

As they are designed to take a tap, I think you might get away without leaks.

[Easydrinker]

Just make sure you fit the rubber/silicone washer on the correct side.
Mine work best on the inside.

The word 'twins' did have my mind racing....!
