Does it sound like a first one?

Easy H12rpo,
That did seem offensive.

Leatherman's first language is not English.
He has been on this site for longer than his profile shows, and I admire him for trying his best when he is here.

With a dictionary and some time, I might manage a really badly worded post on a French forum. I have a reasonable understanding of the French language

I am not surprised that this forum is used by people for whom English is not their first language; We are generally a friendly and helpful bunch of people.

We get some seemingly highly eloquent knob heads here, this thread was started by one.

We even have people that don't proof read all of their posts.
But I am not going to ban Mash for that.

Robert.

English isnt my first language, but do I feel some negative vibes around in this forum or I just need to do some more learning the language?

Coming back to compresing heads. So if I understand right, this happens not during distilation, but somehow preparing mash before distilation. Where I can not thing anything else apart letting wash to clear. Where I think I understand something wrong here. Can someone give me real example of compresing heads from personal experience. To compare "with compresed heads I got this, and without compresed heads I got this". Many thanks

"Compressing heads" as I know it is using chemical treatment to modify the wash so that there are less heads.

No really - compress not remove. Compressing the heads mean to tighten them up. So they are easier and more precise to cut.

Quit the attitude eh! Theres a good chap. We are a polite bunch here and it will stay that way.

Presumably you can ‘compress’ ie draw off clearer defined fractions with temp control?

My point being that there is little point in asking for a definitive answer to a contentious question.

.. And it does seem a hobby that has more than a few.

How Many Many's Are too many many's?
Many Many,Many Many!

As you say Mash, there are so many ways to skin a rabbit, and many opinions of the best one.

As has happened here, when someone asks the best shape for copper boil pieces, you say coins, I say it doesn't matter; your experience has shaped your opinions, and the same for me.
We do both recommend using some though.

My point being that there is little point in asking for a definitive answer to a contentious question.

... But also plenty of conflicting information....

Have to agree. There is many many many many different routes to persue in distilling, that and eeeeverybody on Internet is right.

Is that to many many's

I love sarcasm, I do, anyway will be interested to hear the results of your 3 runs and will hold off using bicarb myself for the time being at least.

Have you done a neutral previously using the double distill method and not been happy with the results? And is that why you are trying the bicarb?

I'm new to this myself and not done a neutral yet but have a wash fermenting. Currently doing last spirit run on a batch of Rum.
