Hello. I spent many years making beer, about 140 batches. I've been distilling a couple of years now and reading from this site for about the same amount of time. It has been immensely helpful. I mostly like whiskies, so have made whiskies. I am on my 4th one now, a bourbon. I have been aging the spirits in small barrels and enjoy the results. As I learn to make proper cuts and accept that not everything that comes out in the spirit run goes into the barrel, the product gets better. Still struggling with separating wort from corn and rye as they are not as easy as malted barley. Anyway, happy to be here.
Welcome drymill
. Patients is the key for every step here. Let it sit,it should clear. I rushed my Last rye and got scorching.
Batch ruined. Now I siphon the clear off the top of my fermenter put the rest in a couple 1 gallon glass carboy in the fridge to get the rest off the trub and run from there.the more you keep to yourself the more "free" you will be and the more you will git away with.

+1 letting it finish clearing is one of many key steps to making a great drop in my opinion.
Don't rush anything in this hobby, and you patience will be rewarded.Use all your senses, and its not that hard. You just have to pay attention.
Procrastinate, you'll make better whiskey.
