Title was fine
Great overview. I'm a beer brewer who's interested in learning more about distilling. This series answered many questions I had about the process of whiskey making.

Nice overview of distilling
Nice intro to Distilling.
Good introduction
This is a good introduction to the process of distillation, the equipment, and some aspects of developing flavor in distilled products. It's not enough, to me, that you can walk away from it knowing how to distill a batch of liquor (if that was legal to do), but it does provide a nice overview - and makes me want to visit Feisty Spirits when I am in Fort Collins next.
Great as an Introduction for the Curious Brewer
The overall course gave a great overview for folks who haven't taken a look into the shared features of distilling and brewing beer. I was hoping for a little bit more details on ideal temperature ranges for mashing, and how to best promote full enzymatic activity, but I understand that this course already is dancing on the fence of legality. Still, glad I took the time to go through it!
Good info
