FIRST DISTILLATION SINGLE MALT
low wines
Pour wash in: 550 gallons at 16 proof
Bring temperature up, distillation will start as it reaches 190
Wash creates CO2, check the level in the air, don't let it go over 1200 (use fans, open windows etc.)
No heads to be discarded for low wines but check the first liter or two just to make sure
Check temperature in the condenser
60 going in and no more than 150 coming out
We will achieve about 183 gallons at 56 proof
Notes
Classic still with direct flame as single malts lighter, there's less solids compared to corn
No dephlagmator, the lyne arm is higher for more contact with cool air
The thermometer on the still above the oblo measures the temperature of the vapor, which is close to the temperature of the wash, just a little bit colder
