Ive been hearing a lot about the infamous and required vinegar run. I have to admit I substituted this for a few sugar wash cleaning runs on my smaller still but with the new build, I want to do it correct. I'm running a 15.5 gallon keg and figure most of my washes will be 10 gallons so I figured the vinegar wash to be the same size. The question is how much vinegar? Ive searched and not found so I'm asking.
Thanks. You guys are the best.

Re: Recipe for vinegar run
SB,
I'd imagine 5 gallons should get the job done (unless you hafta use more than 5 gals to submerge a internal heating element)

Thanks guys. I had seen that post in the new distiller reading lounge in my research but it only said use a "dilute vinegar solution". I just wanted to know what you all do so I do it right.
