Dirty stripping run

Post by NDakota »

Hi everyone,

I'm running the first stripping run of my all grain wash with a pot still of 10lt loaded at around 50% capacity.

First of all, I'm running it surely slower than necessary because after almost 4 hours I'm still collecting and the aggregate abv is 40% (planning to run until down to 25%).

Is it normal that the spirit is coming out dirty? It had a amber colour at the beginning, now is clear, but I still have something solid like tiny tiny flakes in my spirit

This is a sample I just took, is it normal for a stripping run or is because it is maybe puking? Is it bad as I can't use it or I can then do the spirit run with this as well?

I already used the still before and spirit came out crystal clear.

Thanks!
