Thanks Professor, started at 5 and now into hearts judging by the yummy smell.

I know the flies like a rum spirit run a lot more than a ujssm spirit run. Dam things are everywhere.

They love rum! I've had the little shits swimming in my cut jars mid run.

That's what they have been doing to me, I put an old stainless steel kitchen strainer on top of the jar under my PC. Seems to be working.

Well all done now, feints are running into the low wines keg. Did cuts off the still but will double check tomorrow just to be sure, definite smell change when tails hit that's for sure.

Put down TPW last Saturday.
Checking for activity today and still going (just)

Hoping to run it Sunday or Monday if done, last 3 washes were done and dusted in 7 days.
People at work starting to put some orders in :o

Nice one!

I'm running another absinthe today. Somehow managed to burn the herbs on the last one and ruined it. Even with a bain marie boiler. :angry-banghead:

All grain burbon was a fizzer only got 50% expected yield. No idea why sg 1.052 fg 1.000. Gives me 6.7% but i estinate I only got 1l after cuts :angry-banghead: must have a leak..

Stripping all mollases rum through the detuned bok

1st strip run of 200 litres rum wash.

45 litre rum spirit run.

Plumby wrote:45 litre rum spirit run.

Is that all you got from 200L?!?!?!?! :o

Is that normal yield?

I had 43 litres of low wines at 46%. Put 40 litres in the still and added 5 litres of water to get it down to 40% abv for a spirit run.
Only my second rum spirit run, last spirit run I had 36 litres of low wines that I topped up to 45 litres with wash.
