Oily film over the ferment, eventual problems or not?

Post by **Evil_Dark** » Sun Dec 12, 2021 5:59 pm

I made a rum ferment and I added some coconut flesh hoping it will give a subtle taste of coconut... Or another interesting caracter.
Anyway the fat/oils that are naturally in the coconut are now floating over the ferment, and covering it almost entirely. The ferment looks done of fermenting, made it 7 days ago and was fermenting correctly.

I am a bit worried about this oil film...Can it give some problems during the run on the still? (Pot still)
I saw some distiller adding some greasy components into the boiler to help prevent puking, so It may naturally help instead of giving me some problems?

What are your thoughts?
