Have you taken an OG to make sure there is enough sugar in there to make it worth while? if not you may think about using some sugar with the raisins. I would ferment in a bucket then rack the wash off into the boiler leaving the raisins and all other trub behind. That way you wouldn't have to worry about raisins in your reflux.

I was wondering, how many 'Greek' or 'Grecian' distilled liquors are known. I mean currently produced? Would each island and the mainland have their own varieties? I'm curious. My first wife was an Athenian, but she was a teetotaler. You have a thumper on top of the fermenter...? Yours, PJ Lily
