I brewed 21 litres of beer mash (4 kg of barley malt / 1 kg oats), using glucoamylese to get more alcohol, and let it ferment with US-05 yeast for 20 days. The beer was delicious. I heated it to 70c but had to stop (real world intervened) and then came back to it in a couple of days. I would...

I just got a 30 litre distiller and I'm itching to use it. I already ran a Vinegar and water mix through the system to clean it. I can get oats and rice at a reasonable cost. Which will be better/easier? What other things do I need to think about, like sugar type / honey, flavoring? I have...
