A newbie distiller

[Ninetee6]

Hi Everyone

I'm new to this hobby and have recently purchased a T500.

So far I have fermented and distilled one batch that came out around 91%. I managed to mess up the dilution by underestimating the amount of dilution from the water in the carbon filter (diluting down to 35%), so I am keeping this with the idea of blending in with the next batch.

I'm looking to perfect the operation of the T500 as much as possible to achieve the highest quality product. My focus will be quality over quantity, so happy to explore things like stripping runs with the T500 and pure yeast and whatever else might be worthwhile. I mostly drink bourbon, but also want to experiment with all kinds of vodka based drinks.

Cheers
Newbie
