Burnt Wash & Stripping Run

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.

Burnt Wash & Stripping Run

Post by King Of Hearts »

I made a 100% Rye malt wash. It was so thick it burnt the botoom of the mashtun when raising to conversion temp. Ferment was like a rocket with Whiskey Pure AG. I did the stripping run and the bottom of the keg also burnt. I cleaned up the keg and did the spirit run and it still smells and tastes like cigarettes but got somewhat better. I'm aging now on sticks but I don't know if the taste will improve enough.

Is there anything I could do to save this batch?
