This may or may not be a silly question - Why include the fore shots in the second run? If you simply ran the still with the hearts and maybe a small dip into the tails would you simplify the process?
Hi, Daniel. Yes, this is exactly right. We actually included our heads (not foreshots, they were pitched) into this infusion run. Typically, you would just want the hearts and tails in your infusion run.
Orange essence, mostly d-Limonene, vaporizes at 176°C. While the ethanol will serve as a solvent to pull some from the basket if you're looking for significant orange you won't get hot enough. Infusion is essential.
Thanks for the cool note! But, we don't want the essence to vaporize, right? Isn't it better to keep it under the vaporization point so that the vapor from the ethanol (that is boiling) can infuse with the oranges as it passes through?
@@milehidistilling1 haha you remind me of me! Good work keep it up, I’ve made a some great progress thanks to your vids , now I’m drinking for almost free lol
We've been researching hard on different bypass valves for Thumpers, gin stills etc. Our schedule has been a little crazy, but we hope to have a prototype out some time in 2025

Cinnamon,star anise, cardamom, and clove.
Awesome blend, I'll have to try this new round of botanicals next batch!
you make me laugh ... subscribed and liked
Thanks, my dude! I'm glad my dry sense of humor actually translates! Thanks for watching.

Sounds like a great opportunity to develop a piece of equipment that will allow a bypass around the gin basket until hearts are reached, good luck

Would you add your dunder during fermentation or distillation?
Personally, if the dunder was fermented with a fresh pack of yeast, I'd throw it into the distiller.
My question is do yall sell stills to North Carolina residents
We sure do, brother. Been shipping to NC for about two decades now with no problems
Well I’m looking for a bigger still but some other company said no way I had to drive 5 hrs to pick it up.
