Hey guys
So after doing a little bit of distilling 5-6 years ago i decided to get back in the mix and have another go. I bought myself a T500 Reflux kit with fermenter/Filter and some flavours, and have currently completed 2 full runs using turbo yeasts and dextrose.
Then i found this site.....
I really want to make nice Whiskey/Boubons and Scotches and I have only scratched the surface of this site (There's so much info here). In time i would like to make these from scratch but am happy to make the best versions of it i can with my current set up and until i get more experience. I have read about the TPW washes and i plan to make my next wash using that method as i have seen some reviews claiming it's quite good. The first batch i made i did not use cuts, the second batch i just completed i did cut into roughly 150mm jars and have aired them out for a couple of days. I plan to taste the cuts, dilute, filter and flavour them today.
If anyone has some advice on making great whiskeys/bourbons and scotches i'd love to hear it. Tips on set up's, Cleaning, Fermenting techniques, Filtering and ageing would be great and even how to break into making it from scratch would be awesome.
Cheers
