First run with sucess!

The distillation process itself

First run with sucess!

Postby cascas » Tue Aug 14, 2012 9:41 am

I have just started to put my first wash (SS Triple) though. First bottle produced was using the SS method, and the result has gone down well with the other half (who didnt know what I was up to, and didn't realise that she was drinking HB). I have done a stripping run on the rest, and a double distill, so I can see how it compares.

TPW is already on the go for the next run.

I have very happy with the results, should have tried this earlier.

Put away a small bottle of this for six months. Then compare this with what you are making then. Two sips and the rest of mine went down the drain. ;D

Stop! Stop! Don't chuck it down the drain...Chuck it in with your next stripping run and recover/recycle it.

I've had a few mightily disastrous experiments but I've never chucked away any ethanol...I just reincarnate it. :D :D

There are some tastes that an AirStill just won't get rid of. :D
