Herf-A-Holic Topic Starter

Ok today starts the process of ageing it. I will be checking it every 14 days. Once I get it to where I like it I am going to be bottling up 100 ml bottles to send out to buds and those that are interested in trying it. Make sure to PM me to let me know an addy to send out some. 🍺

PS: This is not for trades and stuff like that this is just for sharing with my B and S OTL.

LOL I guess you could call it that. More like Kitchen Bourbon lol. I do not keep the barrels in the garage though due to no temp control out there. I have a spare closet in the house with lots of space. Temp stays at a more consistent lvl. That way the oak barrels dont get to hot and we lose to much to the angels share by contracting and expanding to much lol. I am greedy you know lol. 🌫

Yes sir it sure is, I am already wanting to do a 10 gall setup, get a couple of larger oak barrels. Years ago I knew allot of the old hillbillies in the hills of NC that made it all the time. We would hang out at the stills but never paid no attention at how it was made. I wished I had paid more attention back then but such as life lol. 🍺

Lmaooo this is why you throw the heads away but that is the least of the worries seeing how I am using a old truck radiator lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo... Joking of course. I make 5 gallons of mash runs, rule is to get rid of the first oz per 5 gallons of mash which is 29.5735 ml. I collect the first 60 ml and throw it away for safety purposes. Also its very easy to tell when the methanol has boiled out due to it does not smell like fingernail polish and taste like **** lol. Back in the day the old school boys would leave the heads in the mix for a bigger "Kick" which is why blindness would happen. [gonzo] Just in case you didnt know lmaoooo.
