- porsupah 10y agoRelatedly, I once toured Sipsmith's surprisingly small (commercial garage size) distillery, which they're justifiably proud of, being apparently the first new London gin distillery actually in London in - long enough that, when it came time to apply for the appropriate license, nobody at City Hall actually knew what the process was. A couple photos: Wide view, showing almost everything: https://www.flickr.com/photos/porsupah/21526970411/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/porsupah/21526970411/in/datepo... A glimpse into the maceration still, showing some of the botanicals involved: https://www.flickr.com/photos/porsupah/21331379849/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/porsupah/21331379849/in/datepo... And a simple view of the hatch of one of the stills, Patience (the others being Prudence and Constance): https://www.flickr.com/photos/porsupah/21330240210/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/porsupah/21330240210/in/datepo...
- deutronium 10y agoSome really nice photos! In the first photo, is the device with the brass windows, possibly a bubble plate column?
- sverige 10y agoThey still make moonshine in the Carolinas. I got a few mason jars of some potent stuff from a coworker who sold it out of his trunk in the parking lot of the big insurance company we both worked at in Charlotte.
- omegaham 10y agoGreat article, and it got me to pour myself a bourbon. Cheers.
- gravypod 10y agoI wish distillation for consumption wasn't illegal in America. I enjoy brewing alcohol and I'd like to take it to another step of distilling and aging what I brew. Sadly that doesn't look like it will be a reality any time soon.
