I have maybe an odd question. When running a steam fired spirit still, 2070 liters capacity a vapor escapes during the first 2-3 minutes at the beginning of the spirit run. It feels cold but it does not turn liquid and escapes with some pressure. The smell is not very nice.. The grainbill of the spirit is only based on optic barley, peated at 35-40 ppm, fermented using distillers yeast. Any idea what it is??? Thanks

I'm fully aware of the fact that a full licensed approach is the only correct way. I have started - like many other pros - out of curiosity and interest for the industry and product without a license, using a very small copper potstill. Going pro is a next step for me after gaining skills in existing commercial distilleries - (not based in the USA).

Steam is for sure the most safe and probably the most economical. I still use natural gasburners and no steam, but when I will upgrade my boiler to a larger size - I will for sure go for steam heated!! www.stillcooker.com / still cookin'

Hello everybody! I am glad I have found this forum. I am a homedistiller for many years and I am considering a career change - going commercial. I hope to find good information on this site which can help me out. Cheers StillCooker - still cookin' www.stillcooker.com
