Cleaning rum residue

by **FilthyPhil** » Mon Feb 21, 2022 10:35 am

Hi, I have successfully made a few CFW's & Nutrigrain Whiskeys before but this time I'm trying rum. I've done 3 stripping runs & have about 30 litres of low wines
I usually just hose out the still & keg boiler (2" pot still with shotgun condenser) after each stripping & spirit run but the rum leaves a bit more residue so I am wondering whether to just hose it out or if I need to do a cleaning run or sacrifical run before doing my rum spirit run?

Due to rum liking to puke I quit often had brown lw. Still ended up fine..

Thanks Bluc, I'm about 8 hours &10 litres into my spirit run now & it's coming out at 83% (started at 87%) :smile:

At the risk of stealing the thread is it just the wash that wants to puke or does the low wines still have that tendency
