Run it soon as it clears or any time after.

Hello Shine NOLA. You are right on about quality. The volume you can deal with when you are ready. With the US cooling, as in in winter, one must check your ferments temps. 75 to 85F is a good starting point. This and checking the PH is helpful. Shine NOLA you will do just fine. srs

it sure was
2 gals and i got about 40 ounces (32 at 55% and 8 at 35%)
will keep this and add to the next few runs
until i have 6 qts to run a 2nd time
by then i should be doing ok on my cuts
you can tell the difference if you taste, taste, taste
