Which is probably why they say on the packs "10 days and your good to go " I spose.

Go the chunks and age longer for a more mellowed spirit. I like how oak smooths out the tails of a whisky to make a nice drink, wouldnt think it would work much on neutral tails. I age at around 68% or slightly higher and let it evaporate about 5% ABV away over its age time.
Good info , thanks . Ive got a 100lt wash just about ready . Might be time to experiment with a couple of lt at %65 for 6 months and see what i get .

If you're getting a very nice drop now then why are you asking the question? Left me rephrase. What flavour compounds do you wish to encorporate into your unflavoured spirit friend?
Just curious , I'm very new to this bussiness with only an very ordinary still and Im just trying to get the most out of my limited resources . Due to financial constraints this is a cross I must bear for now and for this reason I have asked this question in the hope that folk with vastly more experience than me can help me thru the mire . Fortunately for me and others in my position this forum is filled with helpful forthcoming non judgmental people that are only to happy to help and there are very few trolls (due in no small part to Sams vigilance I'm sure :handgestures-thumbupleft: )
