Did you end up with 2 litres of liquid? Seems you "lost" 1/2 a litre of ethanol. that seems unlikely. how much carbon did you use (volume)? either the carbon...
was there any moisure in the carbon?? did you rinse the carbon to remove dust and not dry it completely?? i once rinsed mine and waiter about 4 hours with it...

I'm still waiting for an answer on the whole mash off question. If the enzymes stop working once the temperature drops, why do i need to heat up the mash again...
... the ... heat ... To thin the mash and allow easier sparging. Not an essential step in distilling, but crucial in beer making as enzymes can impart...
Some enzymes work at lower temps, some at higher. 150 F is a compromise . Killing the enzymes with high temps is for BEER , not spirits. tyler_97355...
Do the enzymes in malted barly eg all used up after a while, or will it keep working if kept at the right temperature? For a 5-7 gallon mash, can i just use a...
... full to avoid shrinkage and eventual (almost) irreversible damage to ... litre barrel and it seems fine to me still. ... think there is a problem at all......
Ok, more info which may help. I have a filter tank, 100mm dia. copper pipe....reduced down to 12mm pipe, valved at the end. I have previously used the standard...
Dear Group, almost ready for my 1st proper run and although i've read every post here and the whole Homedistiller site i still need to ask a question. Last...
6 hours should be plenty of time to distill that size of a wash. It only takes me 3 hour for a 25ltr was, but i am using a pot still and a 1500 watt heater. It...
d.o.g, just run it: it is so near to finished that it doesn't matter. As to limiting your time: I'd strip run the whole lot (we're talking perhaps 4 hours...
... these words ... Thanks for your words of wisdom Rob but stripping runs sounds like running before i can walk lol. But i'm glad to hear that you think the...
Gilgamesh, Yes, you are a wimp. Honor the name you have taken! (just kidding of course)... I think that it'd take more time to run twice than once because of...
My understanding is that the enzyme can grow or replicate. However I cant find any info to back this up, at this time.Iv used 20% before and done OK....
Hi Alexander..I too have the same thing happening.I did everthing expected to the carbon "stone coal" I washed it , dried it.ect..I run 55% through brewhause ...
I cant find out anything about enzyme reproduction. 6 row barley is higher in enzyme when fully modified.Highly active enzymes are in Ginger Root and the...
For Donald... ... I cant find any info to back this up, at this time.Iv used 20% before and done OK. Overnight ! Iv also used 3ounces of powder in a 15Lb...
a Kg of carbon will hold alot of liquid and appear dry. I think what happened was you diluted your spirit with water. the reason you got no more liquid is that...
I was under the impression that one is supposed to dilute prior to carbon filtering. Am I wrong there? My final product still comes out at 40%. blanikdog....
yup, dilution to (near) drinking strength is advisable. What carbon does is absorb molecules very roughly based on weight and inversely proportional to thier...
Hay there, well my first time with making a sugar wash. I bought some 8kg turbo yeast and did it exactly like the package says. I am keeping it at 22 degrees....
Well, it could be tighter but it is not bad. It is just the plastic trash can type of fermenter. Maybe I will run a bead of tape along the seam. ... some...
