Taste can't be right

Post by markbec »

Hi Guys,

Have done numerous washes with pot and reflux from puredistilling.com. Whenever i do a UJSM with corn or pure barley it tastes like corn and not in a good way. The taste is over powering and i think i'm doing something wrong. My gravities are fine 1080-990 depending on sugar but it's the taste that never changes. Normally i do the distill 1.5 method and for the first time i'm doing 3 stripping runs and then the spirit to see if the taste is more to my liking. Possibly the issue may be with the temperature/speed of the water pump. I'm running a pump with only 100L and heard it can change the speed at which the spirit comes out of still as the water gets hotter. It basically pours out, there are no drops. I have completed a corn wash till gen 5 but the taste never changed from the first. Not sure what i'm doing wrong, i would appreciate some help.
