  1. Hello all. I am seeing if any other distiller has input on disposal of leftover mash waste that they have had to deal with. I am in talks with a local town and they are positive about me coming to town with my business plan. My goal is to provide farmers with my leftover mash. One issue the town brought up was any waste I would produce. They have a small water facility and cannot deal with major waste/byproducts of production going into the system as it will hurt their processes being so small. I do not believe at initially producing 200 gallons of spirits a month I would be causing an issue. Has anyone else had to go through water system issues in a small locality or provide information to the local jurisdiction that the distilling process would not affect the system? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
  2. Hello all, I am trying to do rum for the first time with a very basic recipe (cane sugar and molasses). After pitching the yeast and sitting for 14 days, the S.G has only gone from 1.122 to 1.046. It's been a little chilly and the temp of the wash has only been between 74 and 77 deg. I pitched it with plenty of yeast and gave it some air initially. I'm used to getting my washes down to 0.990 S.G. on the scale. Any thoughts on what could be wrong? Thanks in advance
