There are lots of these on the web. I like rye whiskey but cannot stand Bourbon. I think it may have had something to do with a high school event.  How to Make Rye Whiskey For a whiskey to be considered rye whiskey, the mash must contain at least 51% rye. Rye whiskey has a drier taste than other whiskeys, like bourbon, that are made primarily with corn. If you want to make rye whiskey yourself, it’s important to research the process thoroughly and follow all safety precautions carefully. Keep in mind that in many places it is illegal to make your own alcohol. Always comply with the rules and regulations concerning the distillation of whiskey for your area. Ingredients 6 pounds (2.7 kg) of flaked rye 3.5 pounds (1.6 kg) of flaked corn 0.5 pounds (0.23 kg) of malted barley 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of gypsum 1 teaspoon (4.9 ml) of acid blend 5 gallons (19 l) of water 1 tablespoon (14.3 g) of distiller’s yeast Yields 1 to 2 gallons (3.8 to 7.6 l) of whiskey www.wikihow.com/Make-Rye-WhiskeyPosts like this are why I keep coming back .... Got to do it properly....   www.williamsbrewing.com/Black-Friday-Specials/Mash-Boil-Pot-Still-Package |

I've been sourcing out some copper things and fittings to make a "machine" lately.
With a thumper keg I think it can be done for around $150 possibly, using a large stainless steel sealable milk jug.
Want a pot still (like the one above), reflux systems don't appeal to me. Not interested in drinking paint thinner.

I malted my own grains when I was into home brewing. It has to be a labor of love because it's a lot of work when you can just go out and buy any number of craft beers for about 10.00 a six pack. I figured if it ever really hit the fan guns, ammo, food and fermented or distilled grains would hold a premium as currency. Yes and even that mass produced Sam Adams is fairly cheap and already approximately perfect. Makes the effort of home brewing seem kinda not worthwhile. |

SIG. You might be interested in this from sunny Dothan. Does David have his figures right here? My understanding was that agriculture markets became rigged thanks to Goldman Sachs persuading the then president that there was no need to maintain stores for bad years. This then allowed Goldman Sachs to set up a hedge market for agricultural markets which made them rich and everyone else poorer. |

So the question as always is how are you going to impose accountability on John Deere. It is obviously of significant commercial advantage for them to lie. A year of no purchasing of _anything_ from John Deere may make them take notice. |

"Australian Farmers Harvest Largest Wheat Crop Ever
Australian farmers have harvested their largest-ever wheat crop, according to the latest crop report issued by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences issued Feb. 16.
ABARES estimated the 2020-21 Australian wheat crop at 33,337,000 tonnes, up 18,172,000 tonnes, or 120%, from the drought-reduced 2019-20 outturn of 15,165,000 tonnes.
The 2020-21 wheat crop was 5% larger than the previous record outturn of 31,819,000 tonnes in 2016-17 and compared with the recent five-year average outturn of 21.6 million tonnes." More here: climatechangedispatch.com/australian-farmers-harvest-largest-wheat-crop-ever/
