Dunder pit infections

I'm starting this thread inorder to keep a track of my 4 experiments on infected dunder.
This first one is my original rum recipe dunder that has a couple 1/4 cut potatoes in the mix. 7 gallons total volume

It's been a little over a week now and is getting good! The fruity esters are very prominent along with some smells I can't quite describe as of yet but are Pleasant.

I have 4 infections I want to try and each will have their own thread in due time so this is part 1 of 4 and will be an on going process for some time.

My plan is to do 3 stripping runs which yield me 3.5 gallons per run when ran down to 20%
I will then dilute the low wines to 25% for a total 10 gallons and add 25% infected dunder to bring total volume 12.5 gallons.
Whatever is left I will do the same to put in the thumper and add water to have a volume of 7-10 gallons depending on how much is left after dilution, we'll see!

Some of the technical names of infections I can't even pronounce or spell but I'll do my best to describe all smells to the best of my ability in detail so bare with me please.
Each experiment will be around 1 month long and I'll be keeping my notes on their appropriate threads inorder to not confuse myself or others.

Once I get the next strip ran I'll start a new pit with a different infection and so on and so on.

Once I have my 4 pits made and infected I'll start a big pit in a 55 gal drum and let it do what it does or possibly add the remaining dunders of each to it to get a long term aged pit.
I have alot of rum to run and will have no shortage of dunder to play with and I'm looking forward to these experiments and the conclusions of each.
