Sir Sam Posted February 14, 2011 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.
SubSonic Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 So.. Many.. Responses.. First of All AWESOME! 2nd, You must have a bit of free time on your hands. But most of all, well done, that's quite a setup. Congrats! Glad it came out well.
jimoshel Posted February 14, 2011 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:
JeffN Posted February 14, 2011 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 February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 :yeah that: but where the he!! is my invite? Bring yeast and sugar and wait around a little while.
MiNi Beast Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 i can handle the yeast but no promise on the sugar making it from the road trip. :D
Sir Sam Posted March 8, 2011 Author 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:
