Flinty,wet stone, wet gravel note in distillate
I'm running a heavy sugar and light corn mash. I'm getting good fermentation rates the yeast is happy and finishing out just fine. I have noticed that sometimes I get a pronounced Flinty note in the finished spirit. Anybody ever get this or know what may be causing it I'd even settle on how to get rid of it(aeration)? Could it be tired copper inside the still?
