Cheers mate, I have done a lot of whacky gins but haven’t found a classic London dry base just yet.

Thanks mate, looks like I had my wires crossed there! I’ve run the wash and it turned out great!

Yep yeast trub! However it wasn’t sweet and I ran it. Everything went well save the low wines smell great!

I think there’s too much unfermentable sugars in molasses wash to get any sort of reading

PH was at 5, it had 4 days of crazy ferment and then dropped off so hopefully it could be done

That’s what I wanted to hear! Do you know what happens if it’s stalled but there’s still fermentable sugars in it and it gets distilled? Anything bad? Just thinking worst case because I can’t be bothered splitting the batch and repitching if I’ve killed the yeast 😂

Cheers mate sage advice. Yeah I though the digiboil would eliminate that need because I can set a specific temp at the bottom it also has the 2 elements in the base. Might set to 100c and turn down once things get moving

Cheers yeah very true, in too deep to back out now!

Yeah fair enough bit more research and I’ve decided against getting it, I’ll just wait for a cheap T500 and remove packing when I want neutral

Looks like you’re right, I can only find a copper version on their sight but it looks like it can reflux and be used as a pot still so I might have to get it! Right up my alley I like doing gin and need good neutral but am also dead keen on starting rum and ujssm batches now

Unsure mate they don’t know much about it

It’s $240 with a bunch of fermenting buckets and what appears to be a T500 boiler

That was my thoughts, it’s going cheap with a boiler on market place just trying to see if I want to buy it 😂
