Hi All,
I did a run with a lot of tails and such that I had left over and I must have put too much carbonate in one of the bottles. When I ran it, I got the vaguest whiff of it, but it got worse as it cooled. I kept this all in a 95% bottle and collected down to low %'s. The low wines dont smell like it at all, but the top of the run smells like soap. Just a little. I dont think it burped ot threw up while I was running and I did do a slow warmup.
Im thinking I could dilute it and run it again ( no carbonate this time).
Any thoughts? Anyone ever had the smell of the carbonate come across ins a reflux run?
Am I going to have to throw away an entire gallon of 95% hard won hooch?

Read.Search.Listen.Ask for feedback, you WILL get it. Plastic is always "questionable". Dont hurry. Be Careful. Dont Sell,Tell, or Yell. If you wouldnt serve it to your friends, then it isnt worth keeping.
dont throw it out let it breath... air it out for a while put a coffee filter on your jar with a ring or rubber band around it and set it in a cool place for a week or so. I bet the smell goes away.
