w000 first of two distills done on the sugar wash. Using up the last of my kits...took a gamble on dried yeast that expired in 2021 and was not kept in a controlled environment in any way, shape nor form and it's popped up at a respectable 50% after stripping run. A smish of soda ash, a dash of water, back into the still and then I begin the cuts

Base. Probably gonna end up in the hard solo, or maybe another burbon. Last burbon I made was apparently rather good, given how quickly it went, even if I was straining the cask chips out with a tea strainer.
