Picked up a 50 liter keg with about 30 liters in it tasted like sh;'t so decided to distill it connected it all up normally when i distill alcohol comes off at 90 deg boiler temp this took 95 deg just to push it up the column got 1/2 liter still tasted like sh;'t so into the cleaning bottle it went nothing gained nothing lost :roll:

I can now say 99% of what i have read on distilling forums about distilling beer is BULLSHIT!!! repeated by people who have never done it.
there was no foaming my column was easier to clean up than after a rum wash only thing was the yeild was pretty low.
if i do this again i would do it as a single pot still run.
Found out distilled beer is called Bierbrand in german literally beer brandy.

Okay cracked the bottle oaked distilled beer its been sitting on HBS oak chunks since October and OH MY GODS this stuff is GOOD!!!! its slightly sweet and just reminiscent of the base beer -Spieghts. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
This is some really special stuff dont believe anyone who says you cant distill hopped beer call them out as bullshitter and direct them to this thread.
if some home brewer you know has a batch go 'off' bang it in the still quick smart.
I think this is the best stuff I have ever made and it would be ideal to pull out if the boys were having a session on Spieghts beer... :music-deathmetal:
The smaller bottle of unoaked stuff i kept for comparion had had a loose lid and had evaporated down to water :handgestures-thumbdown:
