Then it must've worked!

Welcome man, there's a few of us who homebrew as well. And its nice to have someone else from the right side of the North here (I'm a Monkey Hanger).

Yes I believe it did. I'll make another batch for a super Herf maybe. I'll need a oak barrel for ageing this time.

Welcome aboard Nigel! Seems like you've found home - cigars and homebrewing, both very popular amongst the UKCF brethren. Glad you enjoyed the proper cigar most of all. My top tip is to just keep trying lots of different cigars (different brands, sizes etc etc). And don't by a humidor... you'll very quickly fill it, then buy another, then fill that one... It becomes jolly expensive.

Cheers. I brew my own beer, wondering if I could roll my own cigars.

Welcome! You sound like a man after my own heart.

Jeez you drank it un aged? Your a brave man! Lol

I made some freeze distiller applejack and that was pretty decent though.

That's bloody clever. You can buy stills on eBay but I made mine out of a pressure cooker and some copper pipe. If you ever make a large amount of bad wine you can come to mine to make it into wonderful Au De Vit, the water if life. It's actually nice unaged, because the still is so basic the spirit retains more of the characteristics of the mash or wine you use. I used a rhubarb wine that wasn't good and it was lovely. I'm gonna get a 15ltr oak barrel with a dark char inside. I'll them age some red wine in it for a year and reuse it to make some brandy. It's a long process but the process is half the fun of it. If anyone has a spare oak barrel going begging....

That's how the mates in the country side do it here!

So does the water freeze on the top and there's a separate layer of booze?

Yeah I have seen the pot stills, I will probably get one this year and make a reflux still next year.

I also have my eyes on some oak barrels too and a fruit press/apple scratter combo.
