Re: SBB's All Molasses Rum Recipe
I found all molasses wash doesn’t work so well on a flute . Well more to the point , the flute doesn’t run so well on a low ABV wash . So I strip half of the wash and add this to the other half .With a higher ABV in the boiler , the flute runs better for longer and makes a nicer product . And yes I ...

Re: Big Ass Parrot
Might have a place in a commercial distillery where the larger overall volume of the run will make parrot smearing less of a problem .
I love building things and in all the years I been at this , never needed a parrot . Glass measuring cylinder with a Alc meter in it works fine for me .

Re: life span of a keg boiler
Certainly those big old Scottish Copper Pot stills have a use by date and eventually wear thin , but they run everyday . Even then it might take a century . But Copper reacts with Sulphides whereas Stainless does not meaning Stainless will last even longer. Even in a fairly acidic wash ( most are ) ...

Re: Liebig size and element
I control coolant flow with a valve on the outlet . My pump is not up for too much pressure and I distill out side so possibility of a blowout and mess everywhere is minimal But I understand why Chris does it the otherway .

TFFV isn’t very neutral. It’ll be more neutral than a wash made with 6kg sugar / 25L :ewink: Again, it’s not 6kg/25L it’s 20kg’s/100L. This was just the first pot full I made to add all the nutrients and invert some sugar.(6kg’s of the eventual total of 20kg’s) Sorry .Having a bad day :cry:
