Another Chapter in the Saga of Blue Boogers

Post by Bee »

AKA blue distillate.

Was running along fine but a little slow and it was getting late so I decided to shut down for the night. Turned off the heat and the water and left the head assembled. Figured it would either be fine or be an experiment. Well, it was an experiment. The first jar off the next morning and all the following were blue.

Next time I'm gonna tear down the head and rinse it off if I shut down in the middle of a run and leave it overnight.

What were you running ? Was it a stripping run or Spirit run ?
What kind of still are you using .

Myself experienced blue. In my case the common denominator is Angle Yellow Lable yeast and loading the copper still the night before with beer for a strip run.

My press
My twins
My controller
My wife tells me I fell from heaven covered in white. Why did they let me fall?
