Hi guys
First Up Great site, been a awesome reference for all things stilling.
quick story, iv been brewing beer since 2009 making my way from cans to all grain and hit a level of i know what I'm doing now and Dam this is good. ( I'm my biggest critic ). so after a shoulder surgery and having nothing to do for 8 weeks i decided to put the whisky round the fire "we should make this" comment to practice. with a mate +(8 investors) (and a lot of reading) we made a pretty standard 50l keg and 2' pot set up. after cleaning we completed, two 50L test washes (different grains and yeasts) and aged on some locally sourced oak to see what we liked. fast forward 2 months and a lot of tasting and bang not the greatest but not horrible whisky. Lots of lesson leaned and in the spring we will start the main mission ex bourbon barrel(20L) run. iv also completed a Hook rum 4gen and a thumper build, but have got a head scratching concern about my rum cuts (using what i leaned from the whisky does not seem to transfer as well.?)
Anyhoo
again thanks for all the info
