• The mash will take 5-7 days to ferment. After fermentaion is complete pour into the still, filtering it through a pillow case or strainer and cheesecloth to remove all solids
• Distill rye whiskey at no more than 80% ABV. Distilleries will usually do a stripping run then spirit run to produce a quality rye whskey.
