Molasses is alkaline, so the addition of acidic stillage (dunder) is useful (apart from saving on water). Bacteria growing on the stillage produced butyric and...
Ciao Robert. Simply, you distilled using a mix between the two classical methods to distil grappa: submerged grape pomaces and emerged grape pomaces. You, in...
OK I can not post to new distillers, though yahoo tells me that I am in fact a member, Oh I hate parts of yahoo, I really do. My question is about the EZ...
Hi Mike, Is there any way to buy some of that yeast you mention isolated off of Guatemalan sugar cane? Thanks, Bill ... impression that it traditionally was...
What's EZ still? If you mean "amazing still" it uses low temperature evaporation principle and with that you can indeed run the still at one temperature...
jppotpie makes an interesting point when suggesting that Dunder isn't really necessary in rum making apart from mildly adjusting pH. Clearly he knows what he...
Hi James, The 'EZ still' is, in my opinion, a useless toy. If you are serious about distilling, I suggest that you read more, there are plenty of books on the...
Hi Micio, Yes, you are correct about my reasons for mixing the submerged and emerged techniques, and it would be relatively easy for me to increase the height...

... Wal is correct, the style of rum we made was more of a modern "Puerto Rican" style rum. If I was to attempt a heavy Jamaican style rum I would use lots of...

hello, i know this is probably a question that should be asked in New Distillers , but i think i want to ask people with experience in coil making . would it...
... You are correct, Water will not compress but in this case it will gladly move out of the way to make room for a nice kink. I have read all of the...
I just fill with salt. After winding apply water pressure and after 5 mins it will start driping through. Then before long it is cleared and squirtinT. I wound...
