Most of my brewing is for beer, so I have heaps of 500ml bottles that I use to make cuts, thankfully. I don’t actually own any tools to properly measure the content of spirits, though. I’m currently going on “is it flammable” and “what does it taste/smell like”. If I can actually get into it a bit more I’ll invest in the gear, but I feel like I need to get over the mental block first
I appreciate the advice though. It’s good to have some reassurance, because man it just fucking sucks to wait weeks to brew something and then totally fuck up the distillation. What’s the thinking behind covering the jars with a paper towel rather than just the lid of the jar (or the stopper of the bottle, in my case)?
Ahh okay, that makes sense. Thank you!
