Hey all,
Since many of you on this forum are WAY more experienced than me, is there any benefit or negative impact of “airing out” your distillate for 24 to 48 hours after it comes off the still??
Only asking because I’ve done a handful of runs and aired my distillate for approximately 36 to 48 hours after each distillation run, but find myself liking the taste of the distillate more as it’s coming off the still when compared to the taste of the distillate after it has aired out for approximately 36 to 48 hours. Moving forward, I’m thinking about skipping the “airing out” step and just sealing the distillate up immediately, but wanted to see what others experienced with regards to this??
Not sure if it matters or not, but I don’t use a pot still…I’m using a hybrid column still with copper helmet and utilizing one bubble plate for my whiskey and rum runs…
