Sir Sam Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 So I decided to make some moonshine: I got an apple and sugar mash going back around new years, after about 6 weeks of fermentation, trying to raise the temps, re-pitching yeast, I called it good at 15% and ran some through the still tonight. Delicous! I need a different hydrometer before I can tell ya the proof, but it feels like about 50-60% alcohol. Light fruity taste, not sweet, and very smooth, just kinda feels warm going down.

jimoshel Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You can go to the corner 7-11 and get a 6 pack for a couple bucks. I guess some folks just like to say 'I did it myself' :cheers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffN Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Love it, you can go many different directions, just look at the Samuel Adams brew, he started out with a homemade beer kit and now it is a huge company. Just because you can go the quick route and go to the store to buy doesn't mean you should, great satisfaction can be had by doing it yourself.

Sir Sam Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Made up a batch of neutral spirits, hopefully here in a week or so I will run those through a reflux still and get some super high ~90% spirits. It's bubbling away in the fermenter right now. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
