Megga I spend about 1 hour a fortnight to brew, keg and bottle. All it mean is the wife just misses my attentions for that hour ROFPML.
Once the system is set up it`s a piece of cake.

[QUOTE=Wine_maker;327346]Hi everyone!
So we touched on a very interesting topic! Homemade kick ass stuff!
I live on the other side of the planet but our guys also make interesting kick ass stuff. What kind of spirits do you prefer distillated or rectified?
May be new theme in DIY thread for those who like it.
:gossip: then :1062: and :band:[/QUOT
Wine Maker How you going mate
We only do distilled as we can control the amount of alcohol produced.IE the %age.
Here in CIS folks use distillators like this:

Hope this is readable. If you find your local home brew shop they will give you all the information. It’s just so simple. As I have increased mine to produce 95% I now don’t need to filter my sprit. I get my supplies’ from here, found them to be the cheapest. http://www.aussiebrewer.com.au/Quote:

What kind of materials do you usually use for home production in your region?
In my region guy’s use a corn, potatoes, grape, different kind of fruits, wheat.
According to the coursebook - technology of spirit production the outgoing of ready product from starch, that contained in different types of materials (dekaliters from 1 tons of material) :
Potatoes – 64.7
Corn – 64.0
Rye – 62.9
Wheat – 63.7
Barley - 62.4
Oats – 61.8
Millet – 63.5
Buckwheat – 61.1
Pea – 59.1
Molasses – 65.9
Sugar beet – 61.4
So as we can see, we can use everything for our home production.
I do it the easy way. Make the alcohol using sugar. Then add the still sprit essences to make whatever I want. Can’t go wrong.Quote:

Do you produce spirit essences yourself?
I use Top shelf and Edwards Essences. I know its more expense than the way you do it. I get the essences from here: http://www.aussiebrewer.com.au/Quote:
