I don't get that sort of hangover, but I'm definitely very fuzzy round the edges the next day with my rum.

Even with my white rum I add a little too much heads and swap out the air in the DJ weekly, the headiness smell\flvaour goes away, but leaves a little of the headache juice behind, but what a flavour it has. So even if you can no longer taste the heads, because you have evaporated them, or carbon filtered them to remove the smell\taste, some of the headache making parts are still there.

So make good cuts - narrower for neutral, and carefully wider for flavoured spirits.

I thought that people were winding me up about not getting hangovers but it was all true, just make sure you get the cuts right.

A huge thanks to this forum and to those that took the time and effort to email / pm and publicly respond to my questions.

Having progressed from making cock-ups with early runs in the Airstill to getting pretty good results with it then graduating to a larger pot and VM still I have learned a few things about the output from the Airstill.

The Airstill is a great training still and you can produce very high quality spirits by observing a few basic rules.

1 Treat everything the manufacturers say about the Airstill with a pinch of salt - they tend to exaggerate a little.

2 Always double distill - flavoured spirits require a bigger conventional pot still to be clean enough to single distill while removing all the nasties.

3 Make careful cuts and recycle what's not drinkable yet - you're not losing anything you'll just get it on the next run instead.

4 Always filter your final spirit with a proper activated carbon filter.

Following these will ensure you get great spirits and never have to suffer a hangover again unless you drink a full 70cl bottle at a time :D :D :D
