Hi all,
Somewhat of a newbie here. I have only been distilling for about a year and have only done a few runs. I have two batches of bourbon and one of Scotch that have been aging for almost a year. I just finished distilling another batch of bourbon and have another fermenting.
I have a small 30-liter still and only make small batches, usually resulting in about 2 liters of product at 60ish ABV.
This last run went pretty well, but I only got about 1700 mills of 65% ABV. The fermentation got stuck at 1.022, and despite even pitching a second starter, I couldn't get it to budge.
Anyway, I look forward to learning and hopefully being able to contribute what I can. I've been homebrewing for 20 years, so I might have something to contribute from that end of things, although things have changed a lot over the years, and fermenting for distillation is quite different than for beer.
Cheers,
