Thanks for the recipe John, BUT
could you be just a little more specific on that weather part and how to run that still? I had an opportunity to , well, we'll just say I had a sip or two from a fruit jar, not too long ago. It was wonderful I think i would like to give it a go.

I will have to send you an email Kate. I have plenty of info for you. Should
have asked when you were here. You forget I am an old TN boy? I could have taken you by and showed you the *setup* while you were here.

Yeah my grandpa had one too back in TN. Underground too.
These days, I passed my info onto someone else that had the space and resources available to set one up. I know plenty of people constantly want his supply. Very good stuff.

My memory isn't too clear on that part, better go with Don's info. I'm partial to George Dickel, it's a Tennesse Sour Mash Whiskey. It goes good with Sundrop, Mountain Dew or Mello Yello. As you can see, I haven't carried on the family tradition. -- John ThunderSnake #59 |

Everything you need can be bought off of eBay and at a hardware store. Very
little investment for a decent turn-around if you find the right person. Keep in mind, it is legal to make it in the state of Oklahoma, but illegal to sell it without a tax stamp. Go see the ABLE commission and the OTC for those.

I'm partial to Evan Williams, a venerable Kentucky whiskey, which is cheaper but just as good, IMO, as George Dickel and Jack Daniels. Their single barrels are special, and also very affordable for the quality. If you want to roll your own spirits (illegally in the US), check out: http://www.homedistiller.org/ I brew beer, which is very easy if you have pay attention to detail and sanitation. You can brew superb beer -- as good as any you'll buy in the store -- for a small fraction of the retail price. It's also legal. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

Their > single barrels are special, and also very affordable for the quality. A good friend swore by Jack Daniels and water. I've tried all three. They're all good. I think I'll go mix up some George and Mountain Dew now. Cheers! -- John ThunderSnake #59 |

Go see the ABLE commission and the OTC for > those. By federal law, you cannot produce spirits legally in Oklahoma or anywhere else in the US, whether for personal consumption or sale, without jumping through some VERY high federal hoops and spending a great deal of money. See the ATF FAQ: http://www.atf.gov/alcohol/info/faq/genalcohol.htm#g1 Producing beer and wine for personal consumption is OK, subject to some fairly liberal restrictions. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |
