2nd heads?

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

2nd heads?

Post by Olde Goat »

Occasionally my run takes a bit longer then I expect. I will usually shut it down if it gets late and then finish it up the next day. Out of paranoia, I'll toss the first 50-150ml of the same wash after it starts dripping again. Is this necessary?

Heya OG. :)

There shouldn't be as many nasties in the foreshots on an interrupted run (as talked about elsewhere.. sorry I dont have the link) and so people have said you can throw less away, but it would help to know:

- What kind of still you are using.
- What size is your boiler

Thanks for the reply. I have a 30L reflux distiller. Right now I'm in the middle of running a rum wash with no packing and no reflux. It's going pretty good so far.
