No, coffee is a strength.
Ask some of the people that I have drunk under the table with it, they were climbing the walls and shaking all over!
However you managed it, thank you.
Your edited post now makes sense, and won't confuse a newbie.

H12rpo sorry to tell you but yes the T500 does produce
heads and tails.
Please dont take this as a guide.
I have 25ltrs ( 3 Kale washes } at 38% ABV. So I should
harvest 8.5 ltrs at 04%
200ml Jars or until that horrid smell smell gone.maybe 2 or3
1000 ml Jars to the end so 8 or 9.
smell and taste the next day mate.
jars one and two def heads and the last full and part tails.

gaza, please edit the above bit I highlighted.
It is no guide it is gobbledygook.
Maybe in the morning, after some coffee?

The T500 manual states that the still doesn't produce tails.........I'm going to have a go at the double distill and cutting with my next wash just to see if that's true.

Does zero gravity slow bristle growth?

Well done. Did you do it in the T500 or the AS?

Rifty01. Great first post. Welcome to the board. We are a friendly bunch and you will find us a bit unlike other sites you may have visited. Stick around there as plenty of reading and plenty of questions.

Went to a restarant a few weeks back. One of our groups
sons is a senior chef there.Turns out they make gin too.
So armed with a couple of my Gins, by request, we go.
I think one of the Gins was called Sipsmiths about £40
a go.Prof Gin Whos name is Alan, was very surprised and
complimentary about my Gin and said he really wanted to
try my Teagin. The kit they use is very impressive.
Very much like the big stuff from SD.

hampk said largely what I would have and Robert clarified the remaining.

If you like your produce and wake up feeling fresh then great.

I know a lot of people that prefer commercial booze that has a bite and a headache next day as they know they are drinking.

Tails are harder to figure, but even vaguely rough guts next day say you went there.

The experiment/art you are now able to play with is replacing £10 supermarket booze with £1 self distilled or £25 premiumish shop bought or £3 awesome self distilled with practice.

edit : I don't drink gin, but I'd happily bet a thousand pounds that any of the local gin makers near me would prefer a neutral one of us made over commercial vodka/neutral
