How long wil low wines keep?

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

How long wil low wines keep?

Post by SpiritOf76 »

Haven't built a still yet, but I've a question that I can't find an answer to... If anybody can help me to understand, I'd be grateful.

If I'm using a pot still to make whiskey, and I make a stripping run with typical results (30%-45%?)

How long can I store the low wine - will it spoil - before making a spirit run?

The reason I ask is that I might want to produce several batches of wash - more than my boiler can handle at one shot - and do more than one stripping run in a session. Then, by collecting several stripping runs, I'd have several batches of low wines to run in a spirit run during a single (different) session.

Theoretically, I think, by adding the feints to the next batch of low wines, and by keeping adding each batch of low wines in succession during a distilling session, I should be able to increase the yield of the spirit run, as well as create a fairly consistent product. No?
in search of a clever signature...
