Hello, Scranton branch! It's Phyllis Vance here, and I'm thrilled to share with you a fascinating topic that's been hiding in plain sight. As we all know, Dunder Mifflin is more than just a paper company – it's our home away from home. But have you ever wondered what's really going on behind the scenes? Today, we're going to delve into the world of rum distillation and uncover some surprising secrets about "dunder"!

What is Dunder, Anyway?

You might be wondering, what exactly is dunder? Well, let me tell you – it's a term that's been buzzing around the office (pun intended!). From our search results, we've discovered that dunder refers to the liquid left in a still after a run of rum has been completed. But that's not all! It can also be used as a ingredient in subsequent mashes to create more flavorful rum. According to Distillers Wiki, "dunder" is another name for "stillage," which is essentially the leftover stuff from the distillation process. And get this – it's often referred to as "backset" or "lees"! Who knew that our office gossip could lead us down a rabbit hole of rum trivia?

The Muck Pit: A Vat for Dunder

But what happens to all this dunder? Well, some clever folks have created something called the "muck pit." According to Home Distiller, it's essentially a vat where rum distillers store their leftover dunder and other bits like lees. It's like a giant container for all our office leftovers (minus Dwight's stapler collection, of course!)!

But don't just take my word for it – we've also got a forum thread from 2018 where someone shares their experience with storing dunder in an extra keg! Apparently, it can last up to 10 gallons if stored properly. Now, that's what I call a sales pitch for our copier – "More storage space for your rum than you ever thought possible!"

The Magic of Aged Dunder

Now, we've all heard of the power of aged whiskey, but have you tried using aged dunder in your own rum-making endeavors? According to our search results, it can add an extra layer of flavor to your finished product. One enthusiastic forum member even swears by adding fresh dunder straight from the still to create a unique flavor profile!

But be warned – too much dunder can be overwhelming! Calcium carbonate or pickling lime can help slow down the process and balance out the flavors. Who knew that our office supply closet could hold so many secrets?

The Dunder Pit: A Question for the Ages

Last but not least, we've got a question for the ages – what exactly is a "dunder pit"? According to BoisBlancBoy's forum thread from 2014, it's essentially an open-ended mystery waiting to be solved! If you're feeling adventurous, why not try digging up more information and join the conversation?

Conclusion: The Darkest Secrets Revealed

And there you have it, folks – a journey into the wild world of dunder and rum distillation. Who knew that our office antics could lead us down such an interesting path? As we wrap up this post, I hope you've learned something new today (and maybe even picked up a few tips for your next home distillation project). And remember, at Dunder Mifflin Scranton, we may not be experts in rum-making, but we're always up for a good challenge!
