Hey Lads,
my name is BourbonKing and I am from the Sunshine Coast.
I have been meaning to post up here for months but i was waiting till I had some level of informed input ;)
I received a T500 still for a present, ran a couple of turbo washes and was less than impressed when i eventually turfed it because it tasted like metho soaked in firewood.
I built a pot still setup to go onto the T500 lid pretty soon after because I only really drink bourbon and I am wanted as close to authentic bourbon as possible. I am on the 11th gen. of Mac's BWKO (Big cheers for the recipe mate) so i am ready to do a second final spirit run. Out of the first run i put about 2.5l on medium charred american oak and 2.5l on charred french oak. The french oak one tastes unreal but i am probably going to put the rest of the american oak in the feints run because it isn't as flash for some odd reason.
Right now i am fermenting a second TPW for some neutral for the family, in addition to the BWKO. I am not sure what i will adjust for the BWKO for the start of the new generation. These washes are sitting at 18 degrees right now so i need to figure out how to heat em up without using too much power, they are currently wrapped in towels which i suspect is useless :dance:
Anyways that is me, cheers heaps for all the information on this site! I would probably still be doing metho runs or selling my setup if this website didn't exist. ~x(
