  • It is a grainfather! it’s super useful to be able to dial in the power output through the app. I also use the grainfather for homebrew, so it’s nice to share equipment between hobbies. I’m lucky enough to live in New Zealand, the only legal country in the world, so I have no issues having this visible to the neighbours. That being said, I feel like I’d have a go (more discreetly) if my situation was different. The hobby is extremely rewarding.

    I usually make gin, so no barrel aging there. I have made a rum from a bucket of molasses I bought, that was aged. With the scale of home distilling is often a case of putting the oak in the spirit, rather than the spirit in oak. It’s to do with the surface area to liquid ratios of small barrels being way too high compared to a commercial barrel.
