Hi Elmer.. Curious about the whisky bottle. Is that for drinking while you are bottling or for adding to the "Wee"? and how is your beer making progressing? Are you now 100% into brewing or do you still turn to wine /mead from time to time?

The scotch was just to drink to celebrate a good brew day.
I used whiskey & oak in a gallon but the scotch had too much smoke and peat.

I mostly make beer, but make an the occasional batch of lemon wine.
I am looking for a good Pinot Grigio kit or bucket.
