I have seen those, thought of just adding a whiskey flavour too but dismissed them both

Im eventually gona get a proper flux still and some corn and rye, and do a proper whiskey mmmmm
Corn is a bit difficult to get in uk or rolled oats i believe its called in the US its called shaved corn in uk and mainly at cattle feed places.

This is a great thread i have been very interested in making my own still just a small one. N e ideas?

youtube maybe wonky..

I realised that at a usual starting gravity of just 1.080 my wine will only be about 11% when done so may put another kl of sugar in but can't test the gravilty because the yeast is already in for a few hours now,5kl of sugar lol..Should make it to about 13%

At that price I'd have sold it and bought a few bottles of cheaper (but nice) whiskey and spent the rest on setting up an indoor groom! And at £80 a shot it would want to taste unbelievably awesome!

 

Nice prize nonetheless, did your mate (birthday boy) get to taste it?

Well this wine I am making started at Gravity 1.090 and 8 days later is is at 1.020 so only a 9.5% vol there abouts,not good enough yet so hopefully in another 5 days it may get below 1.000 for 11% which isn't too bad for wine,would like it a bit stronger though..

Up2 is at it again

Never made Stout or have I? Hmmm,brain not sure lol

Anyway bought a new fermenting bin and new airlock. I got the starting gravity to 1.050 at first,not too great as the tin says to get it around that so

will end up around 5.6% if it ends up at FG1.010 so got it to 1.060 SG and hoping to end up about FG 1.005 which is around 7.22% which is very good for Stout

 

I never add the water to 23l as they always say but got the water to 21l so a bit more sugar got it to SG 1.060

Should have plenty of head before it ends,I said that wrong I meant it should have a good head when it's done

 

20L of wine and 20L of Stout before Christmas,if it lasts that long should be good,plenty of calories though
