The wash was about 7%
For
a
typical
distillation
using
1
x
1000
litre
wash
still
plus
1
x
500 litre spirit still, the results are as follows;
For every mash into the mash tunt For every mash into the mash tun it was used 425 kg of crushed malted barley and 1,900 litres of hot water. From that we gain 1,600 litres of wort (sugar flavoured liquid) into the 2,000 litre Fermenter for fermentation. You need extra space for the yeast to foam up. From that 1,600 litres of wort which ferments into 9% or 10% ABV wash, we yield around 200 litres of caskable spirit. This ⅛ rule is typical in whisky production. However it would be typical to distill all of wash in one run through the large wash still and then the smaller spirit still, but as it is considered to only have a 1,000 litre wash still and 500 litre spirit still, we run half of our wash (i.e. 800 litres) one day and the other 800 litres of wash through the wash still the next day.
The
200
litres
of
caskable
spirit
(new
make
spirit)
is
around
60%
ABV,
thus
is
(200
litres
x
0.6)
=
120
litres of pure alcohol (LPA) per mash.
So,
for
every
mash
that
we
do
we
gain
120
LPA
through
a
1,000
litre
wash
still
and
500
litre
spirit
still. If we then did five mashes per week,
5
mashes
x
50
weeks
per
year
we
would
get
(5
mashes x 120 LPA x 50 weeks) 30,000 LPA.

NEW COPPER POT STILL WITH DEPHLEGMATOR
Our new copper pot still with cooling chamber, a dephlegmator for better reflux control and distillate stability is on its way to Shelburne VT. Arrival is expected around November 15, 2024. Using a dephlegmator allows master distillers more precise control, active cooling to cause alcohol vapor to condense and induce reflux action.The dephlegmator helps to determine the reflux rate and therefore the purity of the spirit .
