Hey all,
Just signed up, have recently got into the hobby and so looking for as much information to get me going as I can! I started off with an air still a couple of months ago. Have used it a couple of times but realised as good as that was, I thought it was going to be a bit limiting so splashed out on a 50L keg still and today I've just put my first proper rum wash through it.
Did a 27L batch of basically a brown sugar and black treacle TPW. Smells amazing, ended up with about 5L of distillate from it (2.5L that I've kept as product!). I think I could have run the still a bit longer but got down to 25% ABV and thought I'd stop there.
So onto the next one (a molasses rum using Saltbush Bill's recipe) but loads of questions in the meantime.
Cheers!
welly
