Vinegar run specifics

Post by RocketSurgeon »

At the risk of asking a question that gets me kicked from the forum, for not being able to find the answer in the 9874 "vinegar run" posts:

I read the New Distiller Lounge descriptions on the required cleaning and sacrificial runs, which didn't seem to provide the specifics necessary to accomplish the vinegar run.

This is where I might have expected the information to be: viewtopic.php?f=63&t=1548

1. What volume of wash (sugar wash here) is sufficient for a 16 gallon vessel?

2. What ratio of vinegar to water is suggested?

3. How much of the initial vessel charge needs to be run through the system? EDIT: More to the point; how long should it be run? Answered below.

I saw a few posts asking this question, but no answers.

Thanks.

Not to get technical, but according to chemistry alcohol is a solution.
