I suggest watering down to 20% for your taste tests. It takes the “alcohol burn” out of the equation and allows you to focus on the flavour

@hlwehlwe7106 Год назад

Was it your "aggressive" cuts that made the difference?

@distillinginaustralia3257 Год назад

Yes, I was collecting tails. Didn’t have the “nose” to detect the tails. Now I can tell straight away. Thanks for watching

I'd imagine a packed section on top of your 6 plates would help boost up the 7-8% of Neutral you end up keeping. It would also boost that abv up to 96% as well. Only an extra $350 or so, so worth the investment I reckon.

@distillinginaustralia3257 Год назад

Thanks for that suggestion. Nick

Premium vodkas like Belvedere and Grey Goose are industrially-distilled to very tight specifications as well, and they’re easier to buy than ENA

@christurner1791 Год назад

Don’t forget sodium carbonate in you stripped low wines (neutral only), that makes a huuuuuge difference to your hearts cut.

Thanks Chris

What was the ABV of the starting wash 8% ? and what do you do with the remaining wash? after your 8 litres ( guessing at 95%) do you do a stripping run and re-run it? Then grab the 95% again?

@distillinginaustralia3257 Год назад

Starting sg was 1.07 so 10% ish. I run it once collect 8 Lt hearts keep cuts and add heads/tails to next run.

@gregryland1387 Год назад

Do you use a defrag?

@MasterDistiller Год назад

Hi Greg, yes I have a deflag.

@gregryland1387 Год назад

@@MasterDistiller Do you use the defrag to compress original tails? eg after say 7 litres ( in your talk) I would compress tails for say 30 mins to squeeze a few more litres at 95% out of Hearts. Also what do you run your tails down to?

@distillinginaustralia3257 Год назад

@@gregryland1387 i run tails down to 85% then shut down. Really can't see the benefit in taking off any more tails. I find the quality drops off significantly after about 7-8 litres. I do make lots of 500ml cuts at heads and tails and then go back the next day to determine what I keep and what I will re run in the next batch
