It hasn't dropped at all, so it still should be the head. But it sure is the biggest head I have ever seen outside if my pants. This is our first time double distilling, so there things at play here we have not figured out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Our theory is that cutting 180 to 90 isn't 50 percent 180 and 50 percent 0. It's more like 80 percent 180 and 20 percent 0. So we ran the first distill down to 20 proof...and now the second time with the fancy electric one is being more precise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Ended up with just under 2 gallons blended and cut to 90 proof. Now we wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recognize that step. That is also a still, all electric. He bought that after we had the more traditional setup. We were not big fans of it after we got it. But gave it another chance yesterday and used it for the second distilling. It did well, it is growing on us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
