Enjoying my first shine right now.

Postby Clamsmasha » Thu Jun 04, 2020 2:21 am

Hi everyone,

I’m a brand newb, just picked up a very small chrome plated copper pot still with a 25lt boiler.

I stripped a sugar wash last night and ran it this evening.....Now I’m drinking a very pleasant glass of heart with a little water. It’s actually pretty enjoyable! (must be the brown sugar in the wash) I’m pretty stoked.

I think I might go to rum next, or banana brandy, or rye bread shine, or.....

To all the contributors here, many thanks and more in advance. There’s a great wealth of knowledge here.

Cheers
