Whisky Making Kit - 4.5L Homebrew Whiskey 21% Scotch Irish Moonshine Spirit

Product Information

However, even if malts aren't your strong point, the essences provided with some of these kits will cover that part. It is also important to consider any additional costs you can incur depending on the still you choose. We followed the instructions to prepare the barrel, then added the whiskey and checked back a week later and saw it started leaking. In Katz's words, you need to be "damn sure" there are no leaks in your still: once alcoholic vapor is produced, the whole operation becomes extremely combustible -- which can result in explosions. Simply cure your barrel then pour grain alcohol or neutral flavored vodka into the vessel along with your choice of Swish Barrel Essences then sit tight because in just two weeks time your one-of-a-kind blend will be aged to perfection and ready to serve straight from the tap.

All the distilling equipment you use should be clean and sterilised as any bacteria can spoil your brew.At that level of heat, the alcohol inside the mash will be converted to vapor, and turned into a "refined distillate" with the help of a condenser, which should have cold water running constantly around it.

As with other kits, the wood offers great versatility when it comes to spirit aging, so if you'd like to try out something other than Scotch whiskey, nothing will stand in your way. You can skip this part if you’ve already purchased ground malt, which is an optimal solution for fledgling moonshiners. If you find that this is a problem, there are different kinds of homebrew heatersavailable at a very reasonable cost to solve this problem, and they will ensure you have a good mash.But, it is definitely interesting to see how you might be able to make it if it weren't super dangerous and illegal -- like a modern-day moonshiner! Using the 25L bucket, fill with 21 litres of hot water (30 C), add 7 kilos of brewing sugar, and stir until dissolved. It may be illegal to distill spirits or brew alcoholic beverages at home in the country/state you reside, please check with the laws in your area before proceeding with any home distilling or brewing. The convenient pouch or bottle packaging makes pouring and mixing take just a few moments before they are ready to serve! The maturation chart is a good learning tool for those who lack experience or knowledge in the matter and a great reminder for everyone.
