I did a large run of AG bourbon, 85% corn and %15 rye. I put it through two bubble plates and collected an average of 85% ABV when done.
I ran the heads reasonably slow, but pushed the rest through pretty hard. To be honest is was rubbish, tasted like tails through the hearts and I couldn't find any that I liked.
I ended up with about 25litrs of this rubbish, very upset as this was a lot of work to produce.
So wondering what to do I made another 100L of corn/rye mash and put it all together and ran the lot through my pot still, really slow. It came out with oil, grunge, character, mmm just lovely.
This got me to wonder, it's a hell of a lot of work boiling, fermenting and straining corn mashes. So if I ran a few TPW/FFV neutrals through my bubbler, then throw that into a corn/rye mash, put it into the pot still would I get a product as good?
Anyone had experience with this?
