not CLEAR liquid while distillation

[Lokesh]

Hey guys,

So, I am doing grain base distillation, and I am running the still the way it should be, not slow nor fast. from past couple runs I am getting yellow ish color in final product, which IDK why. The final liquid should be clear, but mine is almost grain colour, there is no change in flavour profile just the colour is what bugging me, any suggestion? 

Thanks

What type of setup are you running? Sounds like you are getting some carryover from your boiler.

It might be foaming or puking on you. Do you have any sight glasses?

Yes all signed going to Not actually running the still the way its should be ran.  Its pretty easy if your just pot distilling sorting to get some foam boil over that will color the final spirit.

 

Does it do this the entire run start to finish or does it come on at a specific point in the run?

What size is your still? Hybrid pot, alembic pot, or Column? Whats your cleaning protocol? List it in its entirety.

The only time I ever got that color, was when I'd had a puke on the smaller still I trained on.     Even if you're not puking now, I wonder if you have some residual material that eluded your cleaning protocol?

you said there was no flavor change so I assume we can eliminate scorching from this...
