I have 2 big spirit runs of vodka to run after this, then I'm thinking of taking a break. I've got over 10 gallons of high proof booze already, not counting what I get from the next 3 runs.

Just my opinion, but if you have the capacity for storage, keep making it and let it age.
How could you regret it?

It's fun. It is important as a single man if you want to find someone and have someone to be with. Life is better when you have someone to share it with. I've got a ridiculous amount already. It would be ok to take a little break and get back to it soon.Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2016 6:00 am I'm happy about it. I finally found the secret to making top shelf vodka. Start with a wheat germ wash, do your stripping runs with the pot still, then a slow spirit run at the end with the reflux column. Carbon filtration after diluting with distilled water is optional. This stuff is already smooth with a delicious hint of a wheat aftertaste.Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2016 6:05 am Cut it half and half with distilled water, and it's almost as smooth as water. With a hint of a wheat aftertaste.Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2016 11:51 pm

My corn flakes whiskey is pretty good after a few months. It doesn't have as much flavor as I wanted. I'm thinking about starting a batch of real corn whiskey this weekend. Either corn or barley. My oat whiskey from a few months ago has such an amazing flavor. I want to try other all grain batches to get to know the individual tastes before I try mixing grains.
