I waited for a week and a half before distilling and it went all right. Forgot to put the anti foaming agent (forgotten the name of it now) into the still and was half way through when I remembered about it, but it never foamed up whilst distilling. Is it needed? My last Rum wash I did, I let it sit for 2 days before distilling and it smelt / tasted burnt. I ran it through the filter to see if it help to get rid of the burnt taste, but didn`t. I gave it another chance before throwing it out, or using it as a window cleaner. I put it on oak chips and bugger me dead, no burnt taste. So for a stuff up, it turned out okay.
