Watching someone make cuts on video is one thing. Having the notes open next to you is another. The Distilling Data Dump is a collection of distillation research in a single Google Shared Drive file. It's a reference library you can return to whenever a run raises a question.
What's Inside
- Step-by-step guides covering mashing, fermentation and distillation
- Recipes for a range of spirits, including whiskey, rum and fruit brandies
- Equipment lists and setup tips
- Troubleshooting advice for common distilling problems
- Safety tips and best practices
- Insights from experienced distillers
How to Use It Alongside Your Still
Think of it as your lab notebook, with a head start. Read the equipment and setup notes before you assemble anything. Look at the safety material before your first water run. Go back to the troubleshooting section when something doesn't behave the way you expected. Running a still is chemistry and craft together, and good notes are how you learn from each experiment.
Who It's For
It works for beginners who want the basics in one place and for experienced hands who want to refine what they do. If you have questions about the files, call or text the shop at 603-997-6786.
Stay Legal
Owning a still is legal in the US. Making spirits is not legal without federal (TTB) permits. Read this research with that in mind, and follow federal, state and local law in everything you do.
