Moonshining with Icky

[PIZZABOY]

Florida has alot of public land, many in special Management areas, mostly swampland around prisons, or in middle of national forests. Hunting pressure is intense, many lazy hunters who just drive around and hunt from their trucks. I have found great success by chosing my stand location at the edges of large cypress heads. Get in early and let other hunters flush and get deer moving. Hunting on the small palmetto patches, on little islands are a great way to see deer. Its so thick in most places you can only see 30 yards or so. Another practice is using hounds to flush them out. Not much need for a rifle down here, a good shotgun throwing OO BUCK is the preferred weapon. No fat on these deer. The rut starts early, just prior to bow season.

lol you just described two possibly 3 illegal activities where I'm at. Buck shot is illegal, dogs for deer are illegal and if the island is flooded that's also not legal.

Not bad, sitting at 28. We can finally get the ice off the pavement. It's crazy but I swear it sticks to the blacktop when the temps hit the teens (settle down mindless) or single digits.

I was going to mash in today. This would give me and extra few days and hopefully the yeast will eat all that sweetness.

Lived in Winter Park for a few years. Lighting was amazing down there. One storm will produce 5 years worth of new England lighting. Unbelievable if you've never been in a good storm down there.

You can go for a drive with clear skies, and five minutes later your in a thunderstorm with hail, five more minutes and sun is out again.

2. 75 and less humid, chance of rain.
3. Hurricane. Hunker down folks!

Smells like an angry wine 2 more days...

 

[HIGHRISK]

I'm thirsty

 

[ickyrica]

So I'm currently putting the angry wine to the test. Been running the burner for may be 10 minutes, waiting game lol.

Made some modifications and I'm happy with them. Hoping for a better turn out this run. If this ends up the way it should we graduate to corn mash next!

 

[ickyrica]

Right side is 120 proof, all from today.
Left side is 60 proof, aggregate from both runs.

Taste is smooth and sweet. Kind of impressed with it. Moving onto corn.



Things to note...

Found 2 spots that had pin hole leaks.
Cold water is a must, lol. Aside from swapping out mason jars one of my other duties is jamming snow into my water supply bucket.
