Looks awesome will get some of this run before christmas for sure. Couple of questions traditionally is this drunk straight off the still no oaking or aging ? i know zip except what I have seen on moonshiners about shine.. is all moonshine whiskey/bourbun or is there traditional old time from the woods rum recipes as well ?

Hi,
When you say 2 packages of yeast for the recipe, how much yeast is that? I'd like to give this recipe a run,
Cheers
