First time stiller
Posted: Mon May 03, 2021 10:51 am
Hi all,
Been lurking for a few weeks learning as much as I can. Big thanks to all who have contributed to this huge knowledge base.
Bought a used still spirits super reflux head with 25l boiler - knowing it wasn't really what I'd want long term, but just wanted to get started at minimum cost.
Ran my first TPW wash yesterday... mostly successfully. I was taking 200ml cuts. First jar was 70% abv. By the time I got to the 4th jar, I was up over 90% and in a lot more control of my still!
I imagine I have smeared the heads across those first few jars by running too fast initially. I've made a good start to my feints collection :))
My main interest is rum and whiskey, so pot still planning has now commenced.
