Don't bother with rings - coinage is much better. The noise also tells you wanted going on.

If you have coins you don't need conditioner... They solve the problem. I have never used it. 8)

Just using coins here.

I've just finished spirit run on first cachaca was. I ended up with about 1.25 litres @ 50% from 8 litres of initial wash (2 x 907g lyles golden syrup).

Sipping it on ice as we speak and it's rather splendid.

The main bottle has had a little vanilla, french oak, and glycerol added.

2nd wash of the same is not far behind and had a little demerara sugar added to bring it up to 1.080. I have 23L of lentil wash doing nicely too.

Time to get more 23L fermenters methinks.

I don't know if it is possible to have too many :)

LOL Robert. I have a 1.5 bedroom apartment and a 0.75 tolerant to my BS wife, so I promise it's possible to have too many, even though I haven't found the limit yet.

As an aside, at 20 degrees lentil washes are taking ages and golden syrup/cachaca washes are finishing really quite quickly.
