Hello Novice looking for advice.

Hello I'm looking for some advice on distilling. I' have a 10.5 gallon keg/pot still. It's got one run under its belt but I'm new to this and still confused on a few things specifically how to tell when the heads are done burning off and when the tails begin. Any help would be appreciated.

Cuts are done with taste & smell & experience, read about making cuts in the" new distillers reading lounge".

I read these very basic posts and shudder to think of some of the muck I made - and drank - before I found this forum. Perhaps that explains my occaisional lapses of bad temper now. :shock:

MF, do as OD said and read your heart out. Read the stickies. Everything is there and it will make life so much easier, and you won't be drinking the muck as I was.

good luck and stay safe.
