Hey from Brisvegas

Postby sorvats » Tue Jan 28, 2020 9:11 pm

Hi everyone

Long time creeper on this wealth of knowledge. Thought it was time to pull the trigger so I can ask some questions.
Got a standard copper T500 beginning of December and ran a few turbos through to get an idea of how the whole process works. Have been making cuts since my second run through and my last 4 runs have been TPW and TFFV. These are so much nicer on the tastebuds.

My problem now is that I don’t have enough fermenters to keep this addition up to its full potential.

Thanks for the add team.

Welcome mate, great choice moving to the TPW and TFFV. What drinks are you trying to make?

Thanks db. I’m concentrating on making a good neutral which I flavour up with an essence. Nothing to crazy at the moment.

Once you've made up enough to get you through a few months have a go at bwko or other recipes in the tried and proven section. They require aging on oak (use dominoes instead of chips) for at least a number of months but they are far superior to using essences.
Have fun :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome aboard :greetings-waveyellow:

You can use any food grade bucket or tub for fermenting. 20ltr buckets work well. They don't have to seal or have an air lock, just wrap the top with glad wrap, that will seal it well enough. Or you could go get a 200 ltr drum and do large ferments, that will keep you busy :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Good luck
