FAQ

How much whiskey will I get?

About 5L from a 23L, 8.5% ABV barley wash.

Should I use the alpha amylase?

Use it for the highest yield; leave it out for the highest quality.

Can I use a reflux still?

For a result with less character, a Turbo 500 with the ceramic saddles removed can be used instead of the alembic pot still.

What are the yeast ingredients?

Dried yeast (yeast, emulsifier E491).
