Hi All, I am new to the forum & Distilling, although I have been brewing beer for over 20 years. I have a co2 system & a kegerator for the beer but I recently purchased a "Spirit Maker" a cooper reflux still with a 30 liter boiler. I have a wash bubbling away as I write & can't wait to make my first batch. I do think I made a small mistake last night mixing the wash. I was supposed to make up 21 liters of water then add 8 kilos of sugar the phone rang & I lost count. I finished up with 29 liters total volume in the fermenter so I hope it's right! My logic says 21 liters of water & the weight of 8 kilos of sugar should be 29 liters. Please advise me if I got this wrong as it's not too late to add water or more sugar.
Anyway I hope to be an active member for years to come.
Regards,
Doug
