Simple Question

Post by leob2 »

I'm sure this has been asked over and over again. But I have 2 questions...1. Are the 1st 100-200 ml.that you throw away considered the "heads"or are the heads the hooch that comes afterward. 2. which part of the run is the very best.
I hope that I feel better when I'm ridin' in that hearse.

See http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 15&t=11640

The first part is called foreshots, then the heads come over. After the heads (after strong and sweet smell) the hearts, or nice stuff, comes of.

An don't fergit the tails.

You throw foreshots away an combine the heads and tails to make feints, which you add into the next distil or save for an 'all feints' run.
