Learning from our mistakes...


Need different yeast. Gonna start on round two in the next day or two. Figure on having a shin dig with us and the boys from lost cause eng. we'll drink clear liquor and talk smart. This batch does not have the proof I hoped for...

'Drink clear liquor and talk smart', classic Tom . . . do some reading on distillation, [tops and tails] or you may end up talkin smart longer than you wish . . . think home made Russian peasant vodka . . . don't want to tell Granny how to suck eggs though.

That's sound advice, Whiteline! I actually tossed the first 75 ml in the drain and the tail is sitting in a separate jar, going to be dumped in the next batch. I know very little about distilling, but have been obsessively reading about it for the past weeks.

To give you an idea of how this batch tastes, well, the closest I can describe would be, a thick (like cold vodka) sort of sickly sweet corn syrup. It's funky for sure...

Good man Tom, you'll get smashed but won't suddenly go blind, drop 50 IQ points, start screwing your sister and stop talkin smart, enjoy the hangover bubba.
