I have a question by using the wort to "sanitize" the chiller aren't you risking contamination considering the wort is not boiling at this stage. especially since the chiller may have been previously used and old wort is a breeding ground for bacteria ( yes even after thoroughly cleaning it ) there will still be standing water in it which will take ages to dry. please correct me if I'm just concerned.

Sounds lovely! For the sparge water I just heat and treat the total amount of water needed for the brew in my G40 and transfer the sparge amount over to a bucket before mashing in.

The sparge is too fast. The grain bed collapsed snd reduces my efficiency. Anyone know how I can maintain the grain bed and sparge slowly so I can rinse out mist of the sugars?

I get a little confused with hop additions, especially hop stand hops. Should you be taking out the bittering hops at the end of the boil when you go to cool the wort down to hop stand temperature? Before adding the hop stand hops? Or does your calculator take this into consideration the extra time the bittering hops are left in?

Great video Just wondering, how do you know when the heart run ends, and the tail starts? I'm going to make grappa with this alembic still. Hope it comes out well. Thank you
@trousers2 Жыл бұрын
Not the OP just a fellow distiller here. I've found towards the end of the hearts/start of the trails you'll find a huge amount of flavour and those flavours will change quite quickly, but eventually even though there's a lot of flavour it'll start to taste 'off'. I think the answer to your question is really up to you - taste the spirit quite often when you think you are getting close, and when it gets to a point where you realise 'i wouldn't drink that on its own', you're now into the tails. Still collect them though and use them for another wash that's similar, you might squeeze a bit more good product out of them when they're in another run. Hope that helps!
