Heads in Your Thumper

[sltm1]

There's been some debate as to whether to add heads as well as tails to your thumper. Now, this isn't empirical evidence, but I hold to it. I pose this suggestion for your learned deliberation. Heads are a vehicle for not only alcohol, but for that un-measurable quality of flavor, as well. If you go order steak and ask for some "au jous" to dip it in, are you not enhancing the flavor because of a second bit of flavor in the dipping carafe? Heads which holds both the most alcohol and incidentally, flavor is your "dipping sauce" !!! My only real proof of theory is that folks who know my UJ and others who don't where the whiskey comes from, all enjoy what I make...nothin' like a good drop among friends !!! Salute !

Makes sense in a way. I charge low wines and a bit of backset in my thumper for whiskey and get a lot of flavor that way but for grain I would think most of the flavor would be in the tails and the opposite for fruits. Either way I'm good running low wines,lol.
Have fun.

I load the thumper with about 3 gallon of wash and 1-1.5g of heads and tails from the previous run.
