I really appreciate the response Alan! I'm growing 23 varietals of heirloom corn planted on my acreage and have some Hickory King on the way. I always run and prefer double pot still from what you've shared on Distillers Talk. Information on distillation is all over the place, especially regarding exogenous enzymes. I'd love to come down and learn from you at Old Homestead. Thank you again brother!
I'm still a bit unsure where in the cut most of the oils reside. I like to pull my low wines when they hit ~15-10% but a lot of the oils seem to sit in the heads and tails. Just wanted to hear your input on this timing respective to those oils.
Is there a definitive way to know how deep you go into your tails when doing an oily pot distilled white dog with the purpose of going into a barrel? Trying to avoid haze in the finished product. Thanks again Alan
Hello Allen, do I understand correctly, in that by double pot still distilled you are counting the stripping run as 1 of 2 ? My apologies if this seems obvious, just want to make sure I understand what you are saying correctly. Who ever answers this question thank you. 🙏
Yeah. That’s what he’s saying. The stripping run is the first distillation and the spirit run is the second distillation. You can do multiple batches of stripping runs and combine them all, then do a larger volume spirit run which would be the second distillation of all each of those batches.

Thank Alan. Great topics. Right down my alley

Yes, you are correct.
