Hello guys,
I have been fermenting the winos plan old sugar wash, 50l batch.
I have done 3 reflux runs, removing the first 500ml on the first reflux run.
I can smell the metal of the still in my cuts even at 92%
88%
and 32%
I can't seem to get rid of that metal smell, I am using a 50 litter SS boiler, it has a 4 plate copper T"s.
I take my cuts slowly,
So I decide to purchase the Fuslex with active carbon filter, cleaned up the product great, but I am losing 10% of my abv each time I do a filter.
so I start my abv at 38%
by the time 1.5L runs through the filter which is about 4 hours
the abv comes out at 25 to 28%.
anyone else have this issue?
