Second Run/End Of Life Heads and Tails

[Aislin]

Hi Everyone!

 

I apologise if this is not the right space or a multiple post from another member-

 

I recently took over at a distillery where the previous head distiller amassed 17,000+litres of heads and tails to be re-run. Now that i am in the process of doing so, I am collecting large quantities of unusable or EOL heads and tails and am unsure of how to dispose of them. 

If its just the random <100L its easier, but now its coming into the 100s, and eventually will be 1000s.

 

Any ideas? Or directiosn of who to contact? (I am in Canada)

 

Thank You xx

Hi Aislin,

If you do a double run distillation you can put your heads and tails on the first run.

What type of product are the heads and tales from? 

 

[Silk City Distillers]

Suspect he was the only guy left in the industry that didn't decide to sell a stockpile of heads and tails as hand sanitizer.

Drum it up and call a hazardous waste removal company to haul it off.  Bunker fuel processors, ethanol product destruction companies, etc.

Thank you so much SCD.. I will look into that! 

 

Much appreciated

Sell it to hydrite

I would suggest you use vacuum distillation to take the heads and tails apart more precisely, extract alcohol from them, and sell the rest as "firelight fluid"
