Fraction 1 - RUM

[lulivie]

Hi, I'm new in this forum. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for their attention. In my molasses distillations I tend to cut a lot of fraction 1, basically for health safety reasons. By doing so, I inevitably lose many congeneric substances, which would probably give more complexity and depth to my final rums. So, I've been thinking for some time about how to possibly change my cut of fraction 1... First of all, I wanted to ask you if fractions 1 of molasses distillates contain particularly harmful substances that should be absolutely avoided, and what advice you could give me regarding specific precautions to use when cutting fractions 1, specifically how to ensure the greatest quantity of congenerics without incorporating substances that are actually harmful to the Health. To make an example, to try to explain better: besides diketone compounds, do you have methil alcohol in fraction 1 ? Or others specific dangerous compounds to avoid ? And, last but not least: how "to manage" the entire thing, could you give me some suggestions or thoughts from your experience ? Thk U so much indeed ! Cheers
