Good to have you back George. You inspired me to buy a Fast Ferment conical fermenter for making wine. Just like you said, it made everything so much easier. I will finish out this year having made about 200 bottles. Great fun and have learned so much from your videos. Thanks for everything you do brother!

i love how he shows how easy it actualy is, as long as you do it correctly. step by step, you thought me everything i know, and for the past few years didn't buy any alcoholic drinks from the shop. made every drop myself. No more headaches from the chemicals in the drinks, just pure natural corn liquor. I am using a very simple onion shaped copper still, 5 gallon, on an electric hotplate. At the start it gives my 65 to 70 % abv (130 to 140 proof) i stop collecting at about 50% (100 proof) . add some glicerine for smoothness, poor everything in a big glas jar with toasted oak chips, leave it until dark brown, add osmose water until it is 38% (76 proof) the most expencif thing in my whole process, is the turbo yeast. I have no idea what to call my drinks, whiskey, moonshine, rye, bourbon, rum or vodka, i use corn and sugar. Sometimes i poor 1 bottle of captain morgan spiced rum into the batch, and the whole batch tastes like captain morgan. Please tell me what the h*ll i am making, so i can label it correctly.

The iodine test really helped me in the beginning and I still use it on occasion if I think something doesn't appear just right. Tried and true. Thanks for everything, George!!

Hey George. You are the reason I got into this hobby. I enjoy the way you present the nuts and bolts of home distilling. The way you present it makes it fun and quite entertaining. Can ya do me a favor? Pace yourself. I know making these videos take time and energy. Don't burn yourself out. We all want you to be around in the future. We can wait a month for each video to come out. I enjoy your content and wish you the best.

Hell yeah! Getting my shoes on to run my sugar wash and get this notification?! It’s a sign. I’m using your PID controller. Thank you George ❤

Hi George, welcome back! As a novice I really appreciate the new format of you videos. I'm trying my first mash, braking the process into individual videos, make it more timely for me to following. Appreciate what you are doing, I hope the community appreciates and respects your commitment.
