I'm in the final stages of developing a tried & proven lemon vodka recipe running through 4 plates, if this one's as good as the last few I'll share the recipe in the tried & proven section :handgestures-thumbupleft:

This gear never lasts long, the ladies love it, but for the fella's neat on a block or two of ice it's sensational as a beer chaser :happy-partydance:

So who's running what today ?

TPW got 2 litres @ 92%

Finally got around to stripping the first batch of my 200ltr TPW :D
It's to be earmarked for various occasional drinks and drinks for friends, like kahlua type things etc. Also must have a crack at infamous Strawberry panty dropper, because that's always a good thing 8-)
Maybe some gin as well is things come together. :whistle:

Ran 45l of barley single malt today.. Got a bit nervous when the wash rose slightly above the first plate! :shock: All was good though, just turned down the heat a tad and it settled.

So is the lemon infused or fermented in the wash mac? I have... a lemon tree. :smile:

fermented lemon meat, with a sugar top up.... it's the ducks nuts :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Sounds fantabulous! :-D

Tired now.

Ran two separate stripping runs of TPW, then added to previous low wines and did a spirit run of Great Gin. 12 hours in the shed, listening to the footy while putting down a MacRum wash and trying to stop the leaks in a new barrel I picked up recently.

All done in a 20ltr HBS boiler :-x

Desperately waiting for the new boiler to make it to Macs, so I can get it here. :confusion-waiting:

Still have finished stripping runs to do, but no stamina left.

Distillers privilege of this gear would seem ducks nuts as a desirable characteristic, this gear is fucking like drinking warm velvet with a hint of lemon :scared-eek:

I'm overdoing it though, cant put the stuff to rest, middle jar is just tooooooo goooooooood mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm :obscene-drinkingdrunk:

Stripping rum, hopefully have time for the spirit run after.

Ran with the "Great Gin" recipe today, had 9 liters of 90% TPW which I diluted down to about 25% then ran with twice the ingredients (probably should have tripled??). Ran it with 6 plates and a packed section jam packed with copper. Ran nice and slow pulling 94% for most of the run, got about 7 liters (segregated about 150ml of fores). Will let it all air for 2-3 days and then blend back together. I have no idea on how to blend?? all the cut jars smell different. Have them in 300ml cuts. A good day :)

Strip done, spirit run just started spitting :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Whole munched up lemons?

Just finished the spirit run of my mac whiskey. Smelt sensational. Best run yet!

I reckon it was whole lemons, had a sniff of the fermenter when I was there, smelt awesome :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yeah thanks Bushy... I keep hearing about these 'bubblers', I reckon it'd take me bloody years to build one though :teasing-neener:

Just the meat mate, dont want too much of the pith in there or it will be bitter.... a little zest is ok too ;-)

I'll put the recipe up when I get more time, the web store's going flat chat at the mo :handgestures-thumbupleft:
