Fermentation and Max Time

Post by Bendy »

Hi Crew,

This has most likely been covered...feel free to point me in that direction if you know the path :)

All peated malt whisky mash. First ever mash
Bubbled pretty well using Still Spirits Whisky Yeast and half pack of Glucoamylase for 3-4 days.

7 days has passed. Should I strip run now?

Also, Using a pot still on a standard un regulated boiler... I understand this will be fine for a stripping run but what do I do for a spirit run when I do not have a controller yet? Is there any way around slowing the pot still? How long can I keep the stripping run product (in order to mix with the second batch so as to make a spirit run more economical)

Getting a little anxious as I have put a second batch on for the above purpose

Thanks in advance for a helping hand or a shove in the right direction.
