Now I have a good neutral middle part with a bunch of good flavored jars all around the middle. Any tips before I start the blending? I'm going to air the lot of it out for a couple of days until I can free up some time. Thanks, BD.

blending tips
I just completed a 4 gallon + 2 gallon of wash spirit run of a sugar head grain/malt extract mash and I think the cuts were pretty good. I was ruthless with pulling out the nasty part of the heads. That always ruined it for me - no matter how hard I tried they always snuck in and ruined the party. The sweetness can be deceiving. The later heads are tastey but I think they're tricky to deal with from what I've read here. I went pretty deep into the tails; I kept wanting to shut it down but they tasted too damn good. Best cardboard I ever did taste
