It wasn’t my thumper giving me that off smell. Tried one more time but this time I used some cleaner from the brew store in all my mash buckets then used star San And I did the same with my still on cook day. It made all the differance. I had just been useing a little bleach
No it come threw clear as rain water
Just enough spring water to cover the drop tube but what I’ve read some people use vodka are some of there last batch. I won’t put it back on my still again not on my first run anyway. I just a half gallon jar with a coper lid. By the end of a run it will be full. I got about two quarts of bourbon now It has great taste pretty Carmal color it just has a faint smell I just know it’s because I’ve been useing it on my first run. When I clean the still and dump the thumper it smells and my hearts have been going threw that foul liquid
The thumper is before my condensing arm it’s a second distillation it absolutely works my proof will run 170 and my still will stop producing around 80. But I’m my mind the only way it’s doing any good is if I could drain it before I get to my hearts. I’m better of doing a stripping run without it. The only use I can see for the thing would be to run a batch of hearts three to get some really high proof for Apple pie Put flavoring I to sugar shine are rum
The foreshot in the thumper all all my good stuff been going threw there I’ve been changing my recipes it’s the stupid thumper
Somebody tell me if I’m wrong. The thumper is Tainting my whole batch by the time I get to my hearts the stuff in my thumper is flavoring my hearts. The only way the thumper would do me any good is I could bypass until the first quart are so has gone threw then turn it on. If somebody says I’m right I’m not useing it any more and I’m going back to my all grain recipe and gi in away the corn sugar
I’m running a clawhamer ten gallon still I added a half gallon thumper. My last batch I ran once it tasted a lot like pedleton but still had a small off putting smell every body liked it but me every batch I make gets better. My next batch I’m doing the corn sugar 20 gallons of wash I’m taking off the thump no packing doing a stripping run with all of it then a spirit run. If been trying for about a year now I’m getting closer I got some really expensive peated malt barley I won’t to run but I got to get that slight smell gone. I’m not after moonshine I want fine sippin whiskey
I’ve read just about every post on here. People keep saying came out 80 came out 90. When I’m running my ten gallon clawhamer with parrot my still starts any where between 140 and 170. I usually stop tasting around around 110 to 70. Leave my lids off come the next day do a smelling and small sip and find the pint jars I want to keep mix all together and it’s around 110 to 120ish then I slowly add spring water till I find the bite a wont usually ends up around 80 to 100 then I chip it are keep it clear. Is correct are yall just finding the pints you want uncut and enjoying as is. Are is it all right just depends on the taste of the cook. Corn sugar will be here Thursday.
I just ordered 50lbs of corn sugar. I found the recipe smoothiest southern whiskey. Somthing Magic better happen I’m going to be mad if this taste like sugar shine!!
