I discovered Halong cruises in Vietnam, which is one extremely interesting experience.  By being on Halong cruises, you and your dearests would enjoy the most spectacular sites and landscapes of the new world's wonder Halong Bay.

If you aren't making at least 150-170 proof 'shine, it is more likely a problem with your distilling process. start cooking off the mash at a low heat and keep the temperature between 75*C and 80*C. This will ensure that you are only evaporating the pure alcohol from your mash*. This process will last about 4 hours or so. After THROWING OUT AT LEAST A CUP OF THE PRODUCT, continuously check your product with a hydrometer (sold at all brew/wine shops) to ensure the quality. When the temperature suddenly starts to rise up past 90*C or so, your run is over. If you use a 5 gallon recipe, you should end up with at least a pint and a half of (almost) drinkable shine. After this, you want to filter it through a charcoal filter or equivalent. Personally I made a filter using a high carbon filter pad and some coffee filters. The reason for the coffee filters is simply to catch the fibers from the pad, because you don't want little black floaters in your shine!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mash is really hard to screw up and I'm sure that whatever recipe you use is probably fine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*There are some nasty chemicals that are a byproduct of the mash and inside of the copper tubing, namely methanol and lead. The only thing you want in your finished product is ethanol. Oh, and NEVER use anything made out of aluminum, particularly the still itself as the lead content is so high you will be unlikely to be able to filter it out. Lead poisoning sucks, but is easy to avoid.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Pyropsych</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 08 Jul 2012 12:47:36 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Now What?</title><link>http://www.amtrekker.com/thoughts-and-feelings/882#comment-570796958</link><description>&lt;p&gt;When I came upon your site, I must say your webpage is really cool I just love the content, its outstanding !
