I have exiting news. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be posting a series of articles from Hendre’ Barnard from Distillique Beverage Ltd out of South Africa.

Click <Here> to see Hendre’s articles.

Through the benefits of a facebook and todays global communication, I recently had the honor of meeting Hendre’ on a Facebook Group during a lively discussion thread.  Hendre’ has a wealth of knowledge to share with the us.  We are lucky to have someone of his caliber offering to write a few articles for my site. 

Even though technically he is a competitor, I feel that we can all benefit from each others strengths and make this a better industry and hobby.

Over the past 6 years, Hendre’ has been serving as Training and Marketing Manager for Distillique, a South African company focused on educating, supplying and supporting Home and Craft Distillers in South Africa.

During the past 6 years, Hendre’ has trained over 10 000 individuals from more than 40 countries in Distillation, including, but not limited to, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Seychelles, Mauritius, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Portugal, the UK, Scotland and Ireland, the USA and Canada. You can read Hendre’s biography <Here>

So I asked Hendre if he would write a few articles for StillOnTap.ca. So over the next few weeks we will see the articles:

  • 10 Steps to a Successful Fermentation
  • Monitoring Fermentations
  • Handy Sugar Calculations
  • Bacterial Infection in Fermentations
  • Failed Fermentations and Fixing Them
  • Cleaning a New Still for First Use
  • The Effect of Boiling Rate on Fractions

So come back over the next few weeks as I post Hendre’s articles. You won’t regret the read.
