Depends on what recipe you are using and how far you are stripping it down. Have you done a stripping run on one yet :think:
Haha yeah, I did ask a pretty broad question there :laughing-rolling:
I'll probably go the classic UJSM recipe for 20/25L (probably the latter), or if I can find a fermenter big enough, a 40L wash.
My only concern is that if I'm doing 20L washes, by the time I have stripped enough for 40L I may be up to a pretty high generation compared to stripping a few 40L washes. Or would it be good to have more generations to fully take advantage of carrying across flavour.
Also, this is what I'm doing I gather;
25L wash - ferment - strip = 5L (1st gen)
25L wash - ferment - strip = 10L (2G)
...
...
25L wash - ferment - strip = 40L (8G)
So at the end of the strip I use the back set for the next gen, and add the strip to a keg for storage. I do this until I have enough stripped to do a spirit run, which in the above example would be the 8th generation.
I haven't done a UJSM or anything like that before and the tpw I did the other day I ran as if it was a spirit run, so I haven't stripped in this still yet.
I think I read that collecting from 80 down to 60% was acceptable ,but you can collect all the way to 20% and use as feints in the next strip.
Might need to do a bit more reading up on other people's experiences for some guidelines on what to try.
Any input Sam?
