Today's Run is ....

[EziTasting]

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.

Thats showing an improvement, but I was a little shocked that that is all you got... I am NOT very experienced in making Rum (thought I was - and was proven wrong :laughing-rolling: :angry-banghead: :laughing-rolling: )...

I'm not experienced either.
Yeild sounded right to me, 200 litres of wash at around 10% abv is 20 litres of 100% abv. I run a pot still so I'll never get near that, I get around 50% abv out of a strip run and I strip it down to 20% abv. So 46 litres of low wines I'm happy with.

Good.

Not sure what I was thinking... not enormous they sleep since Easter Weekend camping trip :teasing-tease:

A mixed bag one of a kind neutral :handgestures-thumbupleft:
There's stripped white wine, lemon vodka that I didn't cut right, mac whiskey feints, faints from my last neutral run and some cfw wash to top it up and get it below 40%. This should be interesting.

The glass duck looks so small after looking at the mother duck the last couple of runs :laughing-rolling:

Heating up to make some rum :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Spirit run on 50L of wbab strip. Pulling a solid 80% on the pot. Hopefully there's plenty of hearts to put in my barrels.

Corn whiskey sugarhead :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Do they normally take longer to ferment than the AG corn?

[bluc]

Mostly yes have had all grain finish in under 48hrs. Having said that my sugarhead is bigger volume..but they take more like 10-14 days..

Righto fellas I was going to spirit run my stripped gen 1 2 and 3 of bwko this afternoon. Reckon I'll get into decent flavour or should I carry into a few more gens. Going to dilute low wines with gen 3 wash

[bluc]

Pot stilling I used to wait till I had a boiler full until spirit run. Cant see any reason you cant do first 3 gens though if you need some stock.. With the bubbler I do each gen individually then blend them together.. :handgestures-thumbupleft: I think mac use to say that you get a different flavour by combing 5 gens then do spirit run.

[Nathan02]

Bwko spirit run done and dusted. Cuts and clean up tomorrow

More sugarhead whiskey :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Heaps of different types, mainly Pale Ale and Draught, Got about 400L to get through. Stripped 100L so far, makes a mess, got offered 300L of Pinot today to make some Brandy with, should be better. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
