Thanks Antler24, I will do as you suggested and add more rye depending on the taste of the last batch.

Hi guys, I did 10 generations with the original recipe and already read the first 76 pages. I do apologize if my question is answered on the pages I haven't read yet. I would like to start a new batch with the last backset and use 5 pounds of cracked corn, 2 pounds of milled rye and 7 pounds of suga...

ShineRunner thanks for the valuable info! I was under the impression that 3" was going to give me more speed, at least that's what I was told by Mile Hi. I ran a 5.5 gallon, %9 abv rum wash tonight. I didn't use the diffuser plate; I added 3 small copper scrubbies in the condenser. The total le...

Thanks a lot for all the advice! I really appreciate it. Next time I will remove the diffuser plate and give more power. I will also make sure hot section will be 2-3" at the top of the condenser. Hopefully this will fix the problem. I will let you guys know in a couple of weeks since I have no...

Thanks for the advice kimbodious, I made sure triclamp was tight but will double check everything again.

Hi guys, Newbie here but have been reading the forum for more than 6 months to learn and learn. I just bought a 3" pot still from Mile Hi, you can see the photo at the bottom. It was supposed to be an upgrade for my 2" dual purpose tower, I was hoping to do faster stripping runs but nothin...

Thank you so much for this amazing recipe Bob! Last night I did my first strip run and saved the dunder in a food grade bucket. Shall I put the lid of the bucket tight or close it a bit loose? I am planning on waiting for 3 weeks for my second batch with this dunder. Not sure if letting some air in...
