+Uncle Jesse thanks mate! I just made my first ujssm white dog cocktail. I am happy!

I test if there is heads by taking a spoon right off the worm and taste a tiny bit of the distillate, if there are any heads it will light up your whole mouth right away and kind of burn sometimes, it's a thin liquid and will feel just odd. General ideal is to spit it out you shouldn't to swallow it. Taste, Touch, Smell

How are you later using the heads and tails, do you simply toss them into your next wash before distillation? If so, doesn't that change the characteristics of the final product if the heads/tails are from a whiskey run and the new distillation is rum? Thanks, man, you rock!

How do you think it would work out to make a pot still with a LG beer keg, designed to lay on its side? Would the larger heating area be beneficial or create problems?

I noticed something. When I first made booze from 19 ABV Turbo sugar mash I learned how to make good cuts..Then suddenly when I did the same to 10 ABV mash the cuts were all screwed up. I guess I will have to smell and taste every single time I change something. Sweet Nailpolish- Ethanol - Wet Socks Some call it Heads Harts Tails.

Just getting into this - your videos are great. I guess the volume held back as foreshots doesn't really matter if you are taking plenty of cuts all the way through the run - I just wont taste the first few heads cuts.

THANK YOU

try a thumper or doubler on your system. it run one on my system and use the "backings" that develop in the thumper to temper my final product to a drinkable proof. on average my product comes to of the condenser around 160-170 and runs like that the better part of the run till it drops completely off to my cut off point at 100. that keeps the run in total to be 130-140 on a 5 gal run. using the backings to temper down to 100 adds an additional flavor for the product that i find really desirable. its just a thought

figure on this... my rig runs 25 gal in the boiler to put out 5gal +/- at 130. that being said during the run the thumper produces almost 1.5 gal of backings. so, whatever you decide to put in your system be sure it can hold around 2.5 gal. the reason i say 2.5 is based on the fact i start with 1 gal of some liquid in the thumper. you can use fruit juice or as i do most times is tails cut with water or backings from a previous run of similar making. i would say it depends on your making, but something with alcohol is best. making a brandy some my choose the juice? the inline is pretty neat from the ones I've seen but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept. there's a lot of creative and intelligent people that have far better ideas and more experience than i.

For spirt run, does any fermentation medium / wash go into the still or just distillate from stripping run?

When I collect my product I have a problem with the transition from heads to hart's but no problem recognizing the tails . My question is when u get 50% and lower don't your product get cloudy and stinky? not fit for drinking ! I had rather get a little head's off in my heart's than anything under 40/50% abv , do you put the low% in the final product ? And if so what about the cloudy look? I will say some of it tastes ok but does not smell very good . Maybe I'm doing something wrong ? Please let me know what you think or if you have any tips thanks

Newbie - Ive done a couple of stripping runs of a grain mash using my pot still and was ready to do my spirit run to make some whisky. Being new to the craft I have now realised I have a problem in that my turbo500 boiler only has one speed so will be hard to control the takeoff rate and get the cuts. Can I use my reflux still instead or am I going to lose most of the flavour which was the whole point of the exercise

I don't see where you talk about turning the water on for condenser. Do you have the water running the whole time the wash is heating? I know you mentioned not using a thermometer but everything I have seen talks about 55c

How fast is your water running and when did you turn it on?

Hey man, just wondering if you've seen or heard anything about the Still Spirits T500 still?

My local homebrew shop sells this particular still, for example.) Ive heard mixed reviews about the T500 but ive also heard its basically foolproof.

Hi Dennis. Check out Barley and Hops here on youtube. He has some videos about foreshots and he's easy to understand. He reckons you only need to take a few ounces (maybe 3 or 4? to be safe) from a 6 gallon (25L) run. I've also found if you're doing UJSSM and you're doing a strip run, you can pretty much smell and/or taste when the foreshots are finished. after about 100mL of foreshots it gets like a corny smell about it. Foreshots smell like chemically paint stripper.

i have a few questions: 1. when you put UJSSM low wines into the boiler, do you water them down to 35% ABV with filtered water? Or could you do this with UJSSM wash to get more flavour? I guess the answer is "yes you can" because, it's home distilling and we can do whatever we want because it depends on our own opinions. Just checking what the most common method is, so I can make a close-to-the-truest "Internet Style" UJSSM product. 2. why do you take foreshots on a spirit run that is boiling distillate from a collection of stripping runs? don't you discard foreshots from the stripping runs? if you remove the chemicals that make up the foreshots in the stripping runs, how can the chemicals be in what you use for the spirit run? it seems to me it's a fallacy that you need to take foreshots from a spirit run if you've taken the foreshots from the stripping runs. Educate me please.

1. Should be ok. I dont know for sure. 2. You cannot remove the foreshots very accuratly. You can remove parts of it but never ever all of it. For example after 5 spirit runs in a row you will still end up with a little bit of foreshots.

he said that you don't do it by temperature. you want it to run at a steady speed so that you're not getting 'volatility' in the vapor as it comes out of the still, which will cause flavours to mix together. what you're aiming for is a nice calm process, so that when the flavours of the distillate naturally change, you can detect them in the many, small volumed collection jars you use to collect the distillate.

Hi. From my last run i noticed some odd floating in the tails. Looked brown and heavy. I strained, dried, burned, and once in a while got a green tinge. There was also a brown sticky substance left. My wash had brown sugar in it. Tails came out at about 30 abv in the stripping run. I bought a test kit (because autism) and seeing between 2-5 ppm in this run, as well as my previous stripling run control. I checked some gin i made a white ago and that has about 2ppm. Checked my tap water and it shows 0. My still (t500) copper torpedo inside was very dirty.... it looked silver. Took me many vinegar rinses to even see copper again. What ya all think? Previous run was ok to drink... im still alive haha I used some amazon heavy metals test kit.

I’m on my 5th Generation or UJSSM👍 it take me about 5 to 6hrs at a a slow drip 💧 when I get to the tails, I run at a needle stream down to adopt 40% and it starts smelling like from wet dogs to wet cardboard to a nasty pair of socks to a shit in a diaper lol! Lol 😂 another great one🥃🥃cheers

I have done my first stripping run (and I do mean first-first). Thinking ahead to the spirit run, even before I have had the chance to begin separating my cuts (that’s next and a week after first strip); an operational question comes to mind. Given that my stripping run of 8 gal US resulted in 11 pints (approx 473 ml) to cut, you obviously do not want to make a spirit run that completely empties your pot. Is it common to toss in a gallon (4L) of water so you don’t burn dry your pot?

The elements need to be located near the bottom but not low enough to scorch. Thereafter, the element should never be run when they aren't submerged or they will burn out. So when doing a run you should also account for liquid volume loss so it will still be under the liquid when distillation is finished.

🤣 I'm typically anti-ketchup, but sometimes it just works. Kinda like distilling and blending...

A very hot day and the boiler is wrapped in blankets. WHY?

Happy Distilling

I'm confused... isnt heads and foreshots the same thing?

Hi Jeremy, as far as I understand it, foreshots are something you don't want to drink. Gives you headaches and is not good for you. Smells like paint stripper to me, and it comes off first when you are distilling. On my UJSSM stripping runs I can get foreshots as low as 34C and they drip until somewhere up near the 70Cs. I actually just wait until about 100mL of foreshot is taken and then I can smell and taste a corny flavour in the distillate. You wanna run you still at a lower power or lower heat at the beginning once the wash is heated up so you dont mix those foreshots with the heads. Heads are the first part of the distillate that you want to keep. They are usually higher ABV, and sort of really burn in your mouth when you taste it. Usually they don't have much in the way of flavour. If you are doing stripping runs, try collecting in smaller bottles (I use 1 litres and get about 3.7L from a 25L ferment of UJSSM so I end up with 4 bottles of product). Let them sit a couple of days or a week and then have a smell/taste of them side by side. You will notice difference in the heads when comparing against the other 3 bottles and this is only from a stripping run. I'm setting up to do my first UJSSM spirit run this weekend. Can't wait to see/smell/taste what comes out and how much it varies from jar to jar. It's all pretty interesting.

catphish81 foreshots are toxic whereas the heads will taste nasty & yes give you a hell of a headache + hangover.

@@lukejosselyn7706 heads give hangovers? i didn't know this. how does it go if you're distilling a sugar wash and you want to seperate heads to get neutral spirit that won't give you a hangover? how can we decide where to cut the neutral?

catphish81 drinking a lot of the head will give worse hangovers, if you drink too much of anything you’ll still get a hangover 😂 yes it’s the same with distilling a sugar wash, always best to make cuts & keep the hearts & keep the heads + tails for a feints run.

My only issue with this video was the ketchup, where’s the mustard?
