The first liter of the recipe was really good, citrusy and fresh, then the flavour petered off into dull cinnamon and wood. Stupidly mixed it together but should have kept it separate.

How does the placement of the basket in the column affect the final product? (Eg at the top, above/below RC, before/mid plate sections)
Is there anywhere you shouldn’t place the basket in the column?
Does flavour leach from the ingredients and travel down into the wash in the boiler? If it does, would those flavours come out in subsequent runs if reusing backset? (I hope I used the correct term as still coming to grips with the terms of distillation, I keep a tab open permanently of the glossary to help)
Thanks all.

Holy shit. Now THAT is a carter head! I'm pretty sure I can't do something like that :laughing-rolling:Fishws wrote:Atreu, you’ll have all sorts of fun. I love my carter head.

Fish, do you have any ouzo recipes for the Carter head that you like? I saw this ouzo recipe that looks really good - but how to run it through a CH? Is it simply a matter of increasing the botanicals to the size I'm running?

Thanks to dogbreath vodka for this. He and I have tried half the recipes in a carter head. We kept the botanicals in the same proportions as the recipe and used them in his carter head.
Number 5 was particularly good.
