Hi all new to all this so hoping the experts can help ive been told that you cant run a rum wash (Molasses brown sugar ) wash through a air still and get rum flavors out of it is this true

It's 100% wrong air still is a pot still which is more suited to brown spirits rum whiskey bourbon then vodka/neutral.. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

If you doing rum leave head room cause it will most likely puke. Are you going to double distill I would highly recommend it..especially with rum :-B

Will absolutely work in the little pot, but I'd be very wary of filling more than 3L of rum wash into the 4L AirStill as it'll foam up and puke! Definitely use the boil chips and conditioner too.

With the air still the condenser tube it is very hard ta clean and rum can be a dirty wash ,so I would rinse that straight after each run to stop crap inside it drying up and building up and potentially blocking it or effecting the cooling capacity for the worst.cheers hillzabilly ;-)
