Positive

STA1 Positive. STA1 positive. For distilling use, this is an advantage: more complete attenuation means more ethanol and a drier wash.

POF Positive. This blend produces phenolic flavour compounds (4-vinylguaiacol and related). This is intentional for the target spirit style. Requires dedicated fermentation vessels or thorough cleaning protocols between batches to prevent cross-contamination with non-phenolic fermentations.
