my first sugar run vodka

shven

my first run was a sugar wash.
it turned out pretty good.. a little hot but it tasted like a cheap vodka..lol
my first attempt at flavoring and cutting the proof down..
didn't go so well . I tried following  a recipe using jolly ranchers.. it caused the proof to drop way down.. and was not very good..I still have all that I've made.. I am not sure I can add it back to the still and run with my rum run in the thumper or right in the pot..
my 2nd run . I bought a kit on line for a corn, rye,barley...scorched..tasted terrible..
I found I was trying to go to fast in my learning..I need to learn the process  better before jumping in so heavy..
so I am sticking to the sugar washes for npw.now.. I'd like to get a bigger still..I have a 5 gal but would like a 10 gal ..
the cheap Chinese made one I have now. the rubber gaskets are only good for a run or 2.. I am using paste to now..

What still were you using when you distilled the sugar wash? Did you do one run or did you do a stripping run then a spirit run?
