Nectarine sugar wash.

I had some nectarines that were going off, so I blitzed them in a blender and added the mulch to a sugar wash. It started at SG 1,090 and ended on 1,000 I stilled it today and put spices, including cinnamon in a muslin cloth, inside the column The product came out with a lovely cinnamon and fruity f...

Re: L A N as nutrient

I bought some LAN and the nitrogen content is 17%.
DAP is 18%, so the dosage should be the same.
I will put a batch in to test, before I Mobilize again to Mozambique.

I looked on the PDS and no Sulphur mentioned.

Re: First rum

I know that no mother has ever had an ugly child, but this rum is really good, I think.
I am having one bottle now and I will keep two for ageing.
We drink rum and coke in SA and it is really good with Coke.

Re: First rum

The Recipe called for Sugar and molasses.
The molasses I use is quite cheap at the equivalent of $10 per 25Kg.
I saved 5 liters of dunder, the smell changed to a slightly toasted aroma.
When does one add the dunder ?

Hi Guys
I am Marius from South Africa and I am in the process of building a still from a 50 liter beer keg. Any suggestions about the column length ?
