Thanks McStill - I've split the batch up into 6 different containers to age, with various blends. So no doubt some will be too taily, but I think there was one in there with just hearts (well, what I think is just hearts).
I've got the second batch in the still at the moment coming up to temp, although I just had a look at the hydrometer sample that I put aside when filling the still and it's reading 1026! I figured it was done as it's been in the fermenter for 7 days now, but that seems a bit high. I used 2kgs of raw sugar and about 3.5L of molasses in a 25L wash, with 10L of dunder from the previous run and about 1Tbs of tomato paste. Is the dunder causing a stalled ferment or is the FG high because I used a fair bit of molasses do you think?
Either way it's in the still and reaching 50*C, so no turning back now! 8-)
