"A few questions bigwheel on your Patent pending whiskey from shine recipe:

Does the charcoal flavor, filter or mellow?
Do you keep it 120-130 proof or dilute it again once it has darkened?
I haven't had much luck with the toasted oak..a little too strong & woodsy taste, but I started with 80-100 proof and no charcoal."

"I'm running 2 test jars:
80 proof Jack Daniels white oak grilling chips
100 proof same as above only toasted.
In the Freezer at night and in the sun by day. Cracking the lid once a day. A light yellow tint for 80 proof, amber for 100 proof

After a few days added chips, but mixing them. Pulled chips after a few more days color right, flavor close. Strong alcohol smell and taste now, gonna try covering with a coffee filter for a few hours a day. Did this for a week before cutting down to 80 & 100 proof."

"Finally made it down to the pig and picked up a bag of JD wood smoking chips gonna put some in some 130 proof white dog ran last week. This was sour mash off of an all grain batch of barley and corn.

How many chips in a quart mason ? How long does it take using the freezer / hot Ga sun method of aging ?"

I have tried it and wasn't happy with the outcome. IMO you are better off with some oak staves you char youself. All grain is all too precious.

If you try it don't worry too much about a precise amount of chips. Just watch the color and taste test. The more you use the faster it ""ages"".

If you are trying to replicate JD they use a 80% corn grain bill with rye and malted barley making the other 20%. Their whitedog comes off the still at 70% and is filtered through maple charcoal that is made in house which is why it doesn't meet bourbon rules."

Do you cut the fruit? Does the hooch touch the fruit at all?"

Are you using a pint or quart of clear of product per lime, how big of a container are you using for the whole combination (tall skinny glass with a lime on top)?

I have used the Brewer's best flavorings 1 oz per quart with neutral products, those work very well with fruit juice or punch for fruity type drinks, wife likes those quite a bit Wink

But I'm always looking to try something new that others have had good luck with!"
