Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

blending tips

Post by blind drunk »

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 :)

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.
