    grundle With the reflux still there is less impurities so less flavors to get ...Flavor it is dune after the distilling this is in the aging . to get a fruit flavor just add fruit to you alcohol to make Gin you add Juniper Berry's .For more go to the top and look up Moonshine Recipes..... Agrippa is made from the must left over from wine press so there is flavor just very little , it has to be add back...... Alpine Sapper it's there I have the one that fits on the 15 gal. beer cage go to the Catalog

    lol. Yeah, I saw it. I was referring to the hot blond they have straddling the pole that's attached to the top of the keg. I would have posted the image, but they are ******** and copyrighted the image, and disabled right click to prevent "stealing" of said image.

    True story. Four or five of us were in the office one day and one of the guys pointed out a young lady walking down the street. "Look at the ****** on that one."

    A voice in the back of the group. "Yep. That's my daughter."

    That is interesting to note. I guess there are two ways to go about flavour then.

    The more pure flavour from the reflux still where you age the relatively tasteless liquor with a component so that it will sap flavor into it. From my reading I have read that a pot still will still leave a lingering flavor, which is mostly due to the lower purity of the alcohol.

    Do you have a link to the recipes you mentioned? It sounds intriguing, and it will probably fill a gap in my knowledge.

    I have a pumpkin farm here and they are very useful as you say; here they make fried pumpkin, pumpkin curry, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pastry, but never heard of pumpkin whiskey. Not that it couldn't be done. I think rice works better, though.

    It is all up to the gluten content and the fermentation that takes place when it is mashed.

    By the way, do you know if they press oil from the pumpkin seeds? Those things are loaded with seeds, and I do know that pumpkins have a decent amount of oil content per seed.

    I am going to try pressing some from the seeds I get this year.

    I think it's wrong for any brew that doesn't come out of KY or WV is even called 'shine to begin with. These Chinese knockoffs and other places that I won't mention are barkin' up the wrong tree. If it ain't genuine made in the hills brew it might as well be after shave.

    I had an Uncle that liked that, too. Old Spice was his favorite.

    lol, okay I'll bite just in case you aren't kidding.

    You can use rice to make alcohol. Distilled rice is known as sake, or in China they just call it "wine" but it is more like white lightning than "wine".

    Nah, a drinking contest should hash out where real shine is made. There would have to be some rules tho. The run can't be more than 3 days old and none of charcoal nonsense..... tap to jar.
    Well why not?

    Coot, dunno about that radiator biz. Kinda scary. Granpap always told me if a feller was using a radiator in his still, he would run outta customers and the funeral home would increase business.
    One way to tell good "sqeezins" from bad was the burn. If it made your throat pucker, quit drinkin that rotgut. If you thought youz drinking a glass of water, good stuff. Don't try to stand up tho...
