Yesterday, right in the middle of a spirit run of UJSSM, I ran out of gas. I was running 70% when my flame died. I have about 2.5 or 3 gal of 40% left in my boiler. Would it be better or worse if I used some UJSSM wash (not ready yet) to fill my 5 gal. pot and go again or just go ahead and finish the spirit run?
Thank You

Re: 1.5 or not
You can restart the run where you left off. Or you can leave it sit until your fresh wash is ready. You have a few options.
Sounds like you're likely near tails, if that's the case, I would drain the boiler check the abv then decide if it's worth the propane to add it to the next run.

Fear and ridicule are the tactics of weak-minded cowards and tyrants who have no other leadership talent from which to draw in order to persuade.

Re: 1.5 or not
I know about restarting, I have done it a few times but I have been reading on this site about 1.5 runs and I am interested in the idea . I was going to do a NChooch and try it (that is my favorite) but this happened and it gave me pause as to wondering if UJSSM stripped would be a worth while try? I like the AG but Jessie was dead nuts on then he said his recipe gave a lot on stilling practice. Thank You for your help.

Correcting the subject might prevent suggestions for a surround-sound system.

Re: 1.5 or not
And here I was thinking there was some advanced technique of 5 strips + 1/10th of a wash...

Deplorable, thank you for over looking my obvious gaff and answering my question. I will never understand why there are so many more horses asses in this world than horses.

In my country an ass is sort of like a horse and makes a funny sound.
