No Anti-Foam
We forgot to add three drops of anti-foam to this batch of whiskey! The rye mash boiled higher than the copper pot of the still and up into the plates of the distillation column. This prompted a very time-consuming clean-up, where Sebastian dismantled the porthole windows and we were able to reach in and wipe out the plates, the valves, and the chambers. Quite grueling!
