"I am going to build a reflux still.. for academic interest only
After reading and studying the www, I am left with a few questions which are probably basic, but nonetheless outside my understanding.
I have read that the best way to generate good product is to distill pure (95%) ethyl, the add water and ""essences"" to yield the desired product.
I have also read about mashes from grain, molasses etc etc to yield a acceptable and unique flavor profile.
Would I be correct in assuming that somewhat like home winemaking, you can either buy the kit, or you can stomp your own grapes. Depends on your desire.
Both yielding good product???
Carbon filtering???..... Usefull with a reflux still??? Usefull when generating pure ethyl for mixing with essences???
When generating sugar/yeast ethyl... does the yeast matter when using a reflux?? I assume there will be no taste after distilling with the reflux.
Any guidance and conrtuctive comments are MOST welcome.
