boricualouie Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 When someone buys a still, how do you clean the inside before using it and what do I use to clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captnKB Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 First do a hydrostatic test to make sure everything is water / vapor tight. Do a water distillation to make sure everything is safe and functional. If you have the ability to CIP do so. Upon completion of a water test, run your first distillation of spirits and discard the product as it will likely be tainted with heavy metals from break in of the still. This is a rather generic set of instructions. If your not sure how to do so, it would be best to bring in a distiller or consultant to assist with start up.
