I'll tip it out and get cleaning. Thanks for your help.

Nice result!
You've convinced me to give mine a go. Might be some interesting flavours, even if I don't get much alcohol out of it.

I did my first spirit run this arvo (30L) and collected 32 jars of approx 250ml which are now airing. I actually ran out of the smaller jars so collected another 3 or 4 litres in larger jars.
Jars 31 & 32 plus the 3 bigger jars had a smell like butterscotch / caramel so assuming it was tails but it wasnt the unpleasant wet dog smell i am accustomed to with TPW. If i kept running it will it eventually get to wet dog smell ?
I ran out of time and jars so shut the still down, the spirit was still coming off @ 68%abv.
I have almost 10L of stripped wash left over so i was gonna add this to the boiler with the caramel jars and finishing running the still tomorrow. Otherwise i will keep it for next run and just finish running whats left in the boiler (i didnt empty it).
Am i on the right track ?

Taste and smell of the wash was very good, taste of the spirit is very good but damn its hard to bring the demijohn to my nose for a sniff. Has been on french oak for a week.
Hopefully the smell will improve.
I have this separate to my mcrum stock and will keep it that way.
