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.

Back to back rum runs :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Did you find your leak, was it easy to fix?

I only seperate it in teo places I seperated it and re clamped in those spots and all good again. It ran like a dream

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

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

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.

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:
