Your whiskey would be unique.

You make a helluva sales pitch, don't know how I can turn it down.

Current plan is to study the book and make a still.
- pressure cooker still first
- distill some water
- distill some wine into brandy
- start looking at doing whiskey

Let me know how much you need.
It'll cost you one bottle.

That's an outstanding deal, you're on.

Might be a year or so before I need the grain, but I will be reaching out when I get to whiskey.

I'm reading some amatuer horror garbage collection because I ran out of meaningful shit to read after The Alchemist, Economics in One Lesson, The Invisible Hook, Dune, and Clive Barker's Books of Blood I-VI.
What's good, folks?
I mean, REALLY good?

My sister got me listening to some woke "The Anthropocene Reviewed" NPR ass bullshit which is 50% good, 50% Marxism, but it's hard to stomach. I listen to it or the 50% good half, and so no one can accuse me of being close minded or "not listening" to the other side. . . but, man... the 50% Marxist part just pisses me off.

All it takes: grain, water and yeast! Approximately 100 kg (222 lbs) grain will make 600-liter mash. The expected end result is 32-35 liter pure (theoretically 100%) alcohol, from which we can make about 80 to 87 liter (21-23 gallon) whiskey that has the strength of 80 proof.
So 20lb makes about 2 gallons of 80 proof whiskey.
