The nail polish smell is acetone.....when distilling, the first fraction to come through is the methanol, after that what they call the "heads" (a mixture of ethanol and other chemicals) will start to come through, and acetone is one of the chemicals (present in fermentations) that gets concentrated with distillation.
Thank you for your content . I have a old whiskey barrel I intend to use for hard cider, but there’s separation in the planks because it’s so dry. Is it ok to use City tap water in the swelling process ?
I sincerely hope you salvaged the bourbon left in them...Buffalo Trace is good Kentucky bourbon. As I understand it, bourbon can only be barreled in new barrels, and they are supposed to be White Oak - 53 gallons per barrel. I'm more of an Elijah Craig man, myself...but they both are lovely drops. Can't wait to see what you put in them...Cheers!
For the last 3 or 4 videos I'm only able to watch upto 480p. It's not my Internet speed as I can watch everything else as normal. Are uploading in 480p or is there a problem? EDIT: The last video I can watch in HD is the "What's inside the maxi 310" video
I hope mine scrub up so well. I was worried when they arrived and gave you the best looking ones!
My late Grandfather was a copper, got to love a well made barrel. Hope you’ve got somewhere dark and constant temperature to home them in.
You're a braver man than me. Having said that, the barrels have scrubbed up well.👍
Makes a difference to folk making them in to plant pots. Great work 👏
Lovely looking barrels ❤️

Your Bung-plug is slightly comical shaped? Oh, well...
