Module 10

Cleaning and Stripping Runs

Clean your still, then strip your wash into low wines so finishing-run cuts are easier and repeatable.

Start first lesson

Start by cleaning a new still with a water + vinegar run to remove residues. Then run a fast stripping run to concentrate alcohol into low wines and record the baseline data you need for recipe development.

What you'll learn

  • How to clean a new still before your first product run
  • How to run a stripping run for concentration (not precision cuts)
  • What baseline data to record for recipe development
  • Why finishing-run fractioning is easier after stripping
  • Where these runs fit in the broader distilling workflow
