Vodka to UJSSM?
May very well be a silly question but.... What would be the outcome of pouring one gallon of my vodka into the pot of UJSSM wash. Would it be almost the same as UJSSM licker or crap or hey that will work, maybe or your an idiot!

Re: Vodka to UJSSM?
I think if I had a gallon of good vodka I would keep it. It will just wash down the corn flavor of your UJSM.

If the mix comes out under about 25% ABV, I'd just do a stripping run. Much over that, treat it like a spirit run.

Re: Vodka to UJSSM?
I do not understand the answer given or I did not pose the question properly. Let us assume I have five gallons of UJSSM pot material it has already been stripped of good corn alcohol. After it cools off somewhat then I pour my feints jug into the pot. Let's just say two gallons of heads and tails and just a little hearts (whatever). Either fire back up and strip or let it set for a day then strip. Is there any chance that it would taste almost as good as the original run when stripped or taste like crap. Again just wondering. Surely someone has tried this before. I was just thinking and obviouosly have not got a clue. I do not want to necessarily get hung up on the quaility of the alcohol charged just whether or not it would pick up the taste and age like UJSSM. After all UJSSM is mostly based on the sugar and to some small degree the corn (I think). I am on the fourth generation and maybe even when I decide that it is time to clean up and start over pour the alcohol in the fermenter and diluted to 40% stir then let it sit or take it right out and run. I would like opinions even if you do not know for sure.

If you are asking if you should dump the 'vodka' into the backset(the stuff left in the boiler after a stripping run), then no, it would probably turn out pretty rank.

Re: Vodka to UJSSM?
I have not answered this ,have not quite figured out what you want to do. if your dumping vodka into UJSSM to flavor id say don't bother,
if you have "skanky" vodka that you want to "rerun" with UJSSM go for it.
