Air Still distillation breakdown
Re: Air Still distillation breakdown
Firstly, welcome!
Secondly. if you ran strip runs and then a spirit run with cuts, and made good cuts you should not need to do another spirit run.
If you messed up the cuts and need another spirit run, then you will need to make cuts again, there is little point in a run without cuts.
You can forget the first little bit here known as fores.
With the Gin and botanicals there are also cuts to be made, Searching the threads and recipes should help you.

Welcome. It will all start to make sense worry not.
Everything Robert said and.. GIn is a separate process. SO do your stuff get a good spirit. Then make gin by passing it through again.
...I will add some links in a minute..

Re: Air Still distillation breakdown
Many thanks for the replies, I have been navigating around the forum, and already ordered the colander and SS legs and have botanicals ready, I'm awaiting a few bits and pieces to make a filter if successful I'll post a picture, that's maybe a month away and just aiming at small quantities for the Air Still.

Re: Air Still distillation breakdown
Mash mate, you seem to have introduced this Doo Dah into this thread.
Since I acquired a cat, I am sure I have conversations with myself more than before.
I don't know if I talk to the mog, or wether I have become a mumbling idiot.
