Clearing wash and puking.....
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2020 2:11 am
Hi guys and gals,
Newbie (ish) here. I have built my own 50L keg pot still and started with the usual sugar wash with turbo yeast and charcoal etc, I’m now ready to start distilling “properly” with grain/cereal mashes.
I’ve been reading a lot about puking especially with an all grain mash/wash. I do run my still slow but after all that hard work I don’t want my product ruined from a puke. My question is if I clarify the wash will that help stop a puke?
I’ve also read about adding a knob of butter to the boil, I also wondered if copper mesh packing in the column would help dissipate the bubbles?
I am new to this site so still finding my way around but couldn’t find anything specifically on puking. Sorry I know this has probably been covered 1,000,000 times before.
Thanks in advance
