WELL, I've been pretty lazy on the likker front.
I have some cuts to blend, and I've got 10 gals of ujsm to run.... Then I should be caught up.... and then I'll need to get busy brewing!

Certainly NOT!
Just be prepared for a slow sparge if you're using wheat.
If you've not gotten your grains yet, get a handful of rice hulls for your grist. They will significantly help loosen the glue that you'll make and keep you from getting a stuck sparge.

Gurrr! Just spent 4 hours super cleaning the kitchen (Between last night and this am.)
Now I want to run the still... but not sure if I want to make a mess in the kitchen again!

For whiskey... I do like this CM still with a 3/4 packed column. It pumps out at 75-80% for the whole run and plenty of flavor too.
It took some time to get it all dialed in, but that's half the fun right????

Is that on a single run or a double? Thanks.

I'm pretty much down to single runs unless something funky comes through.
When I get things right, man they are good! When I screw it up somehow.... I end up re-running... or just adding back to the next run.
Oh... and I lied. This batch is running off at about 89% -91% right now.

Woah Balls!
Even the tails are coming through at 87%!
Most of this run was at 74 degrees and 90-91%, then the temp started climbing over 600 ml of distillate. Now at 84% and 84 degrees!
Tell me again why I need to build a boka? I need something to STRIP with at this point!
