Several day spirit run
Posted: Sat May 12, 2012 5:31 am
Hello guys, I'm just wanting to see if I'm doing this the right way. I had several strips I had been collecting for awhile, and now I'm doing a spirit run. I'll start out by saying I doubt I will ever collect this much at one time again due to the large amount of time it takes to collect. But, each day I'm stopping after going all day (5am to 10pm) I stuck a coffee filter in the end of the take off tube (loosely) after shutting down, and go to bed, get up and go at it again is this fine to do this that way? Does it make any off tastes?
I have recently gotten into slow single runs and this method seems to work best for me
Here's what I started with 9 gallons of 50%, added about 3 gallons to knock down to 40%,
My still is a 16 gallon keg boiler, 2" x 24" pot still with a 24" lieberg arm with a 5500w phase angle . Looking for a good white I can turn into a bourbon or so. This is also a UJSM with a barley added
I'm sure I'm fine here but seem to have a problem with tasting off tastes till it airs out a day and sits another day
Thanks guys for any help
P.s. this is my fourth day at it (got a late start one day). It should run out today for sure
