I am grateful for the follow up and the sources of ingredients… “…minor distillation set-up…” intrigues me so onward!
If you are not going industrial, then an Air Still is a cheap option and does the regulation for you.
This is the easiest way to distil water, essential oils, or your completely legal tax exempt bio-fuel allowance.
My favoured wash yeast is this one. It is also fantastic for making potent drinks e.g. when you really want to make a bottle-matured Scumble.
I have the knowledge for the first part of the process; for more than a decade I was an avid ‘country wine’ maker, I see a new distilling hobby on the horizon
It’d be interesting to see some of your creations. For me, crisp dry perries and ginger beer are my go to favourites.
Methinks we share some unusual tastes, the Ginger Beer and Perry sound right up my alley…you must be powerfully Capricornian
Well a Dog Year Sagittarian would be more accurate. Although, I doubt that 12% of humanity have a kind of life like mine - It’d the utter chaos
well it’s not a Tawny Port, it’s pretty good drain cleaner though. I definitely went to high with VT Fig oops. I should have used something like VT Raisin & Rum instead. I think I’ll leave this one to the professionals.

Hear, hear.
Hip, hip - need a wheelchair.
Dang…should have guessed given all that 9th house stuff you carry
Well, I try to avoid carrying anything other than ideas, the debts of others, and enough to ensure that I’m running on heavy fuel.
I’m going to make it my focus tomorrow and loading it into one of my Asgards for evening pondering.
The must balance and how to handle a mid-tone sweetness, with it limited to there, will be fun.
Hey @SquirrelSmash, Your Mayflower 2022 recipe was featured on Recipe Week | Noted DX the other night
Oh, that’s one I haven’t gone back to in a long time.
Do you have a rough timestamp for it - I’ve already queued up my audiobooks and podcasts for tomorrow, so I don’t have the time to sit through it all.
starting at 9:58…
Thank you sir. I will look at in the morning.
It seemed like each time my name comes up - it always ends with ‘What is Lovage Root?’
I’ve never used Lovage Root so maybe I don’t know what I’m missing
Well after some disappointing solos of the vso i decided to throw this together for fun. As the chocolate faded after 4 weeks and really turned out week and going back over notes i realized these are just weak. So i turned up the %’s on all of them. I usually never go over 20% total flavor so this is crazy. Off the shake its alright see where it goes
