Been running strait grain mashes and aging in oak barrels. The product has come along quite nicely. I've recently tried some nuclear aging, not sure I love it. I'm going try some new stuff base on people's experiences and preferences. See you out there!

Coming along smooth, details to follow.i I've bee partial to a 8lb peated malt, 6 lb 2 row malt for the last few years in a 10 gallon mash. However, I have recently tried the "all bran" recipe- to the tune of 30 gallons. Can't go wrong for the money. The taste is good too! I've mostly been interested in making a drinkable scotch. What's your story? DrJ

I took 2.3g of 105 proof and watered it down to 35 proof, ran it through the still and came up with 1.75 g of 150 proof. It tastes impeccable! Proofed down to 90 ish and sitting in an old balconies barrel, 3rd generation. I will taste it in a month. Notes to follow Ina new post.
