With our latest municipal water system troubles, I was forced to buy myself a nice countertop water distiller machine. It is F"""G Awshum!!! I wonder could we use it to make the 190 grain?

Yes, it can be done. Not the most efficient way of doing it but it will work. You would have to do a stripping run first to get to 190. Make sure you dump the fore shots and heads. If you have never done distilling, look up the basics so you don't poison or injure yourself.Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.

ChubbNugg it depends on what type of still you have. If using a pot still, yes you will have to do multiple runs. The first runs are called stripping runs. They do what they sound like, strip the etoh from the wash and concentrate it. Then you re-distill the concentrate to get high proof, and separate and dispose of the heads. They contain methanol and other nasty that will make you sick and go blind. If you have a reflux still like 90Gizmo has, then you could get away with one run if you know how to run it properly.

With my toy still my first run is about 60-80 proof, starting with my blackberry wine at around 16% (32 proof). I'll keep some as brandy and add some to a batch of wine. Like Ckbrew said not all stills are equal, you have to know your equipment.
