    Distilling.. Legal...?

    Or you can do Breiss Flaked corn. Least mess of all, I have heard and no cereal mash needed as it's pre-gelatinized. ;)

    Distilling.. Legal...?

    The ratio of redneckerish BS and half-assery to valuable information is hard to get past. Sooooo much wasted time filtering through the junk. Reading books was a better resource for me. If you can do some basic math and wrap your head around the gas law and some valuable concepts from HS...

    Distilling.. Legal...?

    Ugni Blanc (aka trebbiano or St Émilion) and Colombard varietals make a really nice Brandy or cognac. Bonus points for also being the key fortifier for legit port. You may be able to find grape must or wine kits focused on this grape varietal as well. As noted, keep additions to a minimum. You...

    Distilling.. Legal...?

    Start reading and figure out what your goals and range of products you might like to try. There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Stills for brandy, gin, vodka, whiskey, etc all have unique requirements and the still designs can be tweaked as such...

    Distilling.. Legal...?

    That's not true at all (except perhaps for the part about learning to make good beer/wash first)... you can make high quality American style whiskeys in as little as 6 months. You have to understand 1) commercial whiskey distilleries produce a CRAP product that needs a lot of aging and charcoal...

    FT: 2017 Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout

    Regular BCS is not hard to find. You're going to have a real hard time making any of those trades given its distribution this year unless you have variants. Good luck. :mug:

    Eclipse Hysteria

    FFS! I would have thought given the evens of the past 12 months in this country, you'd have come to accept that it's more than a "few" stupid people running around.

    Gather 'round the Campfire: Outdoor related thread

    nope nope nope... I'd rather see bears than snakes. Heading out to Black Hills/Custer for 5 days then Yellowstone for 5 and Tetons for 3. Leave 2 weeks from tomorrow. Have camp sites reserved and Day hikes already planned.

    This Really Annoys Me Pet Peeve Thread

    Well, not everyone takes themselves as seriously on the internets. Some people can handle ribbing and jokes. That's why we give the test, PKU.
