Ok further to report
Racked and strained the bourbon mash.
22 litres of fermented wash/mash
Put it through my 30l stripping still
ended up with 4.6 litres which was at 41%.
Main part smelled very nice. Got cloudy and tailsey towards the end
Pretty happy with that as a yield.

Not enough on its own to put through the big bubbler column so I will aggregate it with a few other all grain runs when I can do a nice controlled big 2nd run.

Im not 100% sure how to calc that, but dose that mean you ended up with a 6-7% wash?

A rough calculation comes out at about 8.5% wash. If my sums are correct, that’s pretty impressive. Wonder how it’s gunna taste?
