First Pot Mode 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.

First Pot Mode Run

Post by Hawk_ »

Started out with 20l Gerber oat and bannana 12%

MileHi Dual Perpose only running the out take condensor.

Brought the temps up as slow as I could

Collected 11 bottles

first 4@200ml ea
second 7@300ml ea
Third 1600ML tails down to 20%

first 2 bottles deffinatly headsy

Here is my Problem. I could not get above 65% to save my life. I know, I know it was running too fast but I just couldnt slow it down without completly stopping it as the internal eliment shuts off at a certain temp. I can smell the differences between the heads-hearts-tails. My tails didnt start till about 45%

Should I conciter keeping the hearts for drinking or should I just call this a stripping run and add to the next batch. I am going for the sour method by adding backset with sugar to the original ferment.

Im kinda pissed. Ive done very well with a few birdwatchers batches and achieved up into the 90s. Im thinking this still with this power just may be better for Neutrals.

Help?
