First Pot Mode Run
Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2012 11:04 am
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?
