It takes spirit to make spirits

If that was all you had then that was better then nothing, my father and his brothers made and sold potteen, they traveled many miles at night to deliver to few houses that it was safe to sell to

@@jamesbradshaw3389 thanks, i understand that, respect to them

Will it taint the flavour? Should it be wood?

@@Lee-nh5bb Probably not but it's not a safe material to use. Every distiller and hobbyist that has knowledge of distilling will agree that only copper, stainless steel, or glass, is considered safe materials. Glazed clayware may be used to store it as long as the glaze doesn't contain heavy metals such as cadmium, etc. That galvanized bucket can and will leach zinc into your spirit. Over time it will also rust making it completely clear that it's not good. Making your own spirits is fun but only when it's done safely. :) Of course, wood is also an option as long as it is natural wood. The best whiskey casks are made out of oak or cherry wood. Some also use old sherry casks for the purpose of maturing the whiskey or whisky (depending on where you live). Newer compromise on safe materials and safety regarding distilling...that's how people get sick or even die.

Mix half a half pint class of it with honey Before you shot the lot in one hit eat a black pepper corn tastes ok not sure wtf the pepper does but you end up steaming badly after two of them
