Saving rum dunder

Post by distiller_dresden »

Hi y'all!

I'm going to be running my second batch of rum Friday on a 2nd gen dunder and once I finish I want to save the dunder, as I don't want to roll into a another batch of rum, I'd like to get into my corn mash development I've discussed in recipes...

I want to save 2 gallons of this 2nd gen dunder so that I have a ready for 3rd gen dunder for my next rum run. Once it's distilled, what's my best bet to save it? Theoretically it would refrigerate yes, since it was boiled for hours... But would I be better off/safer freezing it? For that matter would I 'lose' anything if I froze the 2 gallons, would it harm the dunder?

This is a broader question I have, related to backset in general. When you want to change up what you're mashing and I don't have a distillery with several pot stills and a bank of fermenters... How is the best method to save dunder/backset of rum/sour mash/etc?
I read, I write, I still.
