The alcohol content was fairly low, but I mananged to pull apint before the tails taste crept in. I'll pull whats left and dump it in the next run.

Then I ran the 5 gallon batch of barley, cornmeal, corn syrup, mollases, sugar.
The still was setup out on the porch with a propane cooker.
Thumper was setup in puke box fashion(both openings at lid)
Heat was set on med high until drips began at 178 in the still pot.

It had a nice steady drip for about 5 or so hours yielding almost about 3 qts of 150 proof likker.

I loaded some burnt oak slats and tempered it to around 110 Proof.
After a couple weeks the whisky should take on a nice amber tint, and pick up the flavors of the oak.
She's a smooth drinkable whisky and should be reel noice by the 4th of July. FUCK YEAH!

You can see the present color best in the jug handle.

My sister in Virginia worked at the liquor store.
She said the moonshiners bought schnapps to flavor the shine.
I drank about a 1/2 pint last night. I was blasted.

Well, the wood contaminated the jug as I was drunk AF and cut it with steaming hot water.
Don't do that.
I poured it all back in the still with a corn,barley,sugar,and apple wash.
I rendered 3 qts of very gud likker, and a quart of tails for the next wash. I cleaned the wood and put it in one qt. It is aging proper and should be fine in a month or so.
Last night I did an old school wash.
I extracted the sugar from the corn with the barley, and added only yeast. NO cane Sugar added. It's bubbling away this morning so I think it will succeed. I'm exited to see the flavor of this OG method
