G'Day Guy's,
Well tried my best to appease SWMBO so turned off the still at 10.30 only to find they had already gone :angry-banghead: so back up to the shed and fired the still up again :handgestures-thumbupleft:
About 20 minutes later saw the plates weren't loaded and found the gas bottle had run out :scared-eek: so went and got the other bottle and put in on to continue the run. After taking 3 litres the site glass's fogged up so back into reflux to fully load the plates then took another 500ml only to find the plates had done it again :scared-eek: so in total did 3 reflux loads and just used my nose with the cuts and some of the early tail cuts will be interesting in the morning to investigate as in taking 4.4 litres before cuts the angels did finally shine on me :laughing-rolling:
After the last reflux saw that second bottle of gas was just about gone and that last cut jar did sort smell like my kelpie :laughing-rolling: so yea that was the end of the run.
Turned off at 12.30 so a great morning and only 5 or more months from starting this to getting it to aging time, only a year or so to go but from the smell this is going to be one nice drop.
After lunch I'll warm up some rain water to 30C and throw 20 litres into the fermenter to keep those yeasties kicking as the corn didn't happen this morning it's a tomorrow job. :laughing-rolling:
Cheers Bryan
