"f^&k mate (in deep accent) they keep the shit in silos for years how the f&*k do you expect to get fresh" or words to that effect.


Don't you love that mentality of "what? you don't know everything that I know, you must be a moron"

A lot of farmers sell screenings by the bag after harvest. These are pinched or cracked grain perfect for what you want , I don't know how much but a few yrs ago it was $10 a bag , Damn good price if you ask me . Oh yeah and it will be fresh as they like to quit it quick so as not to attract vermin :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Hi guys, just started taking up producing, just wondering if anyone can just give me a basic vodka recipe
I just want to make a clean clear vodka, but will infuse fruits later.
If anyone could just write down a hood mash for me I would appreciate it.
Thanks :think:

Mate you want the TPW or tomato paste wash.

There's also those who recommend a weetbix wash or a pumpkin wash. Both are more effort and more cost than I reckon a neutral spirit you're using for flavouring with fruit is worth.

DId a blind tasting of my vodka against Belvedere, and myself and all four of my mates chose mine as the better tasting. The all thought it was belvedere and so did I! This was drinking it on the rocks.

INCREDIBLE :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Im not a vodka drinker, but Ive given this a bit of thought as i have friends who do like the stuff, Whats wrong with doing a UJ style wash, sugar and wheat, no other grains. would it not give a similar effect? From the reading Ive done wheat will add some taste and mouth feel to the final spirit. As Ive already said I know SFA about vodkas, just a thought.
