    The simple blue moonshine recipe that you gave me on another form. All I did was add some sugar. I did not strain all the corn out with a put in barrel. Maybe a few that was the cause..

    I have a temp point in the middle of my pot. Just added a tumper on so could run once and done.. I got a laser thermometer. But not thinking straight it reflects off stainless. It’s a big set up. 15 to 20 gall. Just wanted to run a jar or so in remembering my grandfather. I had a few leaks but sealed up with flower and water.. the first drip out of work was oily… Are tails.not good to drink….

    Not the best taste.. wasn’t exspecting amazing quality. It takes time but worried about the viscosity.. I also have a thumper on my set up. I braught the temp up slow but the steam wasn’t heating up the thumper and pushing out.had to run at 185 190. To get the steam pressure I needed to hear up thumper and come out..

    Thanks for the info. I only ran a sugar wash threw my pot a few times. Now I’m interested in flavor. I want to try a few grain runs before I tachle the fruits. Just didn’t want to go through the hassle of trying to find acid blends and gypsum. But thank you very much for the tip

    I did use any yet wanted to find out what to use and how much. Do I need to sprout the corn before I grind it into my wash or can I use it right out the bag
