Green Rim

[Sugarcane]

This time around I didn't just get green rim, but the whole batch has a green to black color when poured in a glass. In the bottle the color looks dark wine red, but poured it is definately green.

What are you talking about? distillate?

[Uncle Jesse]

If it's your distillate then you definitely ran things much too hot I'd guess.

I haven't had that problem before.

Mashes, yes. I had a mash that got infected with a greenish mold that sort of smelled like old cheese, but the liquor still tasted fine.

The only color problems I've had with distillate were getting it too dark. Just redistilled it with some low wines and backset and it tasted just as it did before.

This is from the aging. I used cherrywood chips in the barrel for added flavor. The same batch looked great when matured with maple chips. Both have a great taste though.

The color is almost black in the bottle. Looking through towards a light the tint is deep red. In a glass is the color is dark green.

I had this problem. You just used a bit too much wood in your liquor. Keep track of how much you put in.

I haven't used cherry. Most people stick to oak, maple, hickory, apple, and I think someone has used pear.

What is the mash this came outta? You can always add backset and low wines to your liquor and redistill. I did that, and it tasted just fine.
