I've got 15 bananas in the boiler, getting golden distillate

[raketemensch]

I'm making an evolved habitats rum, heavier on the molasses than usual. I threw 15 peeled bananas into the boiler. OMG does it smell good in here. Painfully delicious.

I was also stupid and left the boiler on full for too long, and probably got some puking. Once I noticed this I cranked up the reflux and turned down the heat so I could pull the condenser off and clean it out -- another nice benefit of doing a dad5000 corrugated pipe condenser is that I could slide the tubing out, clean the copper pipe completely with some scotch-brite, then re-assemble it and just turn up the heat again.


Still brown, tho.

I'm running it through the flute, so I really didn't want to do strip/spirit runs, but it looks like I might not have a choice now?

I've never added this much stuff to a boil before, is it possible that the brown is coming from the bananas and not a puke?
