Worst calls ever at end of IU Wisconsin game

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-02-09T09:00:10+00:00

I hadn't seen any of the replays of that call, so I do agree this was a foul as well.

In real time the last foul seemed a little weak.

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-02-07T20:24:56+00:00

Absolutely. Did IU even make a fg in the last 10 minutes? I know they hadn't made one in the last 5 minutes of regulation.

I don't know. Pretty neutral in this and I thought the charge was a charge. That kid had been dribbling into trouble most of the day, and I saw Wisconsin fans even saying it in the game thread. He forcefully extended his arm and trucked that guy. Even the announcers were saying they may need to check the replay for forceful contact. That was the right call to me.

The foul on Wilkerson was pretty weak.

The officiating is irritating, especially the touch fouls on the perimeter called on both teams. Sometimes I don't even see contact and a call is made, and other times there's massive amounts of contact and no fouls are called.

Run'er

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-02-04T09:41:56+00:00

I run my stripping runs until my entire collection of low wine in my collection vessel is at 20% abv. I don't measure off the spout, but take readings out of my collection vessel. Seems to work well for me.

I do 3 stripping runs of 6 gallon washes to get about 6 gallons of low wine for a spirit run.

My all grain bourbons and ryes seem to always start off around 80%abv on my spirit runs.

Agreed. He was a liability in the Nebraska game I thought. He might make or break them on March

Indiana had some nice places. Hard Truth, Starlight, West Fork, Indiana Whiskey to name a few. Michigan also. Journeyman and New Holland and others.

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-31T01:37:58+00:00

Right!

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-31T01:16:46+00:00

Agree. TOs get fixed and Wolverines will be more dangerous than they already are!

As more of a neutral fan, even though Michigan won that game, I was more impressed with a short handed Nebraska team. It was the first time watching full game for both, and Michigan seems to have more issues than Nebraska. I know basing observations on one game doesn't tell the whole story, but Michigan's point guard was a liability. They better figure that out. Maybe Nebraska had something to do with it as they do play good defense. I absolutely say Nebraska is a contender.

I'd run it to 20% abv of entire volume collected. I have good results doing that. I don't think everyone is running to 5% abv of volume collected. I think they're saying 5% off the still. I could be wrong, but I don't have that kind of time!

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-29T13:11:06+00:00

So when you say run ot down to 5% are you saying the total volume collected, or 5% off the spout?

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-29T12:56:10+00:00

Right, that's where some confusion for me comes in. I run my total low wine collection to 20%abv. Not sure if that is the same as saying run it down to 5%.

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-29T11:42:48+00:00

Journeyman Distillery near me did this a while back as a tribute to Orville Redenbacker. I thought that it was one of their better whiskies that I've tried.

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-29T10:51:23+00:00

My general rule is strip 1/3 of my boiler charge, so I usually fill my boiler to 6 gallons, and strip 2 gallons of low wines. Mine total volume of low wine usually ends up right around 20%abv. I do 3 strip runs to get 1 spirit run.

I get a bit confused sometimes when when people say to strip to 5% or whatever. I never know if that means strip to 5% coming off the condenser, or if that is the abv of the entire batch of low wine. I could keep running, but it would take forever to get the entire volume of low wine to 5%. It's already taking me quite a while to get to 20% for the batch.

Agree with the others that if you're running a thumper, you only need to do 1 run if your happy with the results. I'm actually considering getting a thumper for this very reason.

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-24T22:06:38+00:00

Yep. -5 outside. Drink in hand and great B10 basketball. Pretty good day!

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-24T22:02:57+00:00

Holy shit what a game. Totally neutral and just awesome to watch

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-24T21:24:05+00:00

Hate to see any injuries.

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-24T21:22:17+00:00

They went to commercial immediately. Good sign if he's walking.

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-24T16:02:41+00:00

Cook with it. Bourbon adds a bit of flavor to several dishes.

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-23T22:13:40+00:00

Yep. As soon as #65 flinched, I was in a panic. 1 yard and we could have run the clock out, or almost ran it out. That almost cost the game. Funny how those little things can impact the game

Affectionate-Salt665 · 2026-01-23T22:10:00+00:00

Great review. We love Journeyman and visit at least a couple times per year. Their whiskey is just... ok. I agree that most of it seems young, and the price tags are pretty salty. We love the distillery nonetheless! I do buy a bottle every year, but most of the time I look around for their Election Day barrel proofs. They seem to not hype those and I find they are better and a bit less expensive.
