Care to elaborate ?

Sounds interesting Georgio!

Was it like pudding lots squeezing georgio?

Yep a fibrous sort of pudding. You can only squeeze so much before it just clogs up :crying-blue: . It was worth the effort though. Already tastes good just sitting in cuts jars. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I think cherry is the easiest with a cracker result. Have been using woolies frozen cherries.

Hey stig...got some cheap lady fingers over at chandler markets. Peeled em, mushed em, chucked em in fermenter, 5kg sugar topped up to 55L and used saf gold. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Sounds yum

Once she is ready I will pop over for a dram with you :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Any time mate, I’ll have the ice chillin

Sounds yum :think: maybe I'll give it a go one day. Bubbler or pot still?

Maybe we should have a 5 Star get together early new year for the locals ?

I would definitely be keen :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'll stop in for a yarn

Hey db..ran it through bubbler, 4 plates, but pushed it a little harder. Ran it at 3L per hr. To be honest even the tails taste bloody good. I stopped collecting at around 88% abv.

Any chance of a BBQ sale? :D

Just mashed 50L AG Whisky, now running the first Rum of summer. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

MysteryWhisky
I have 35L of ‘leftovers whisky’ wash bubbling away in the fermenter. As an all grain beer brewer I find I accumulate heaps of little bits of leftover specialty grain. My usual practice is to make a mystery beer of all the leftover grains and hops. This year I thought I would make a mystery whisky wash instead. My recipe is loosely based on Mac’s Macwhisky, though instead of using a tin of Caramalt LME I have mashed the leftovers (caramalt, crystal, cara-pils and munich) with a kilo of pilsner malt and a kilo of wheat malt. 3Kg sugar and some bakers yeast.
Fermenting on the grain. When cleared I will run this through my newly completed 4” 4 plate glasser.
Bit of a shame that it’ll be years before I know if it’s any good. :teasing-tease:

100L charge of first gen UJ made with raw sugar through 4 plates. Not sure what will come out the other end but hopefully something sweet and smooth..

With all that Chrissy BS out the way..........time for rum!
160l charge of 6.8% wash through the 6 incher with 4 plates :happy-partydance:
Running the fores at a thin stream tasting for hearts as I go!
