If you run cheap stuff through a still can you make cuts to improve it by simply treating it like it came off a stripping run

Re: Commercial alcohol
I'd say it depends on how good you are at making cuts.

Re: Commercial alcohol
i kinda thought i could practice making cuts on cheap 10$ or less a fifth liquor to practice for future spirit runs of my own my idea was buy like 2 half gallons of something and add some water and run it like low wines and just mix it back when done also to clean out the still i am building possibly

Much cheaper to simply make some bird watchers. A few sacks of sugar, yeast and tomato paste. A little over $1/gallon of wash.

Re: Commercial alcohol
Agreed you might as well kill two birds with one stone and ferment your own. Need to learn that side also. Plus it is just as important as running the still and making good cuts. Garbage in doesn't equal quality out.
