spirit run

Post by CyBaThUg »

What is your spirit run? A nuetral or a flavored drink like whiskey/rum ?

If nuetral, you can add other leftovers to the spirit run. Flavored drink will be changed. It is hard to say if that change will be good or bad.

Cy, once you do a spirit run of low-wines on a highly refluxed still....the feints(dreggs) are normally very highly concentrated and squeezed out it's not usually productive to run them again. Now, if you have feints from "other" types of runs (pot stills, etc) THOSE you could probably re-run on a reflux still and you might get something out of it.
