Hey guys, I'm using the T500 reflux still and am distilling a standard birdwatchers wash.
The wash finished up 3 days ago. I gave it a good stir up and left it sit for 3 days. It's not cleared. But I'm bored and I decided to run it through the still.
If the wash isn't cleared yet and I run it through the still at high temperature (Say, 75 degrees C) to essentially do a "stripping run". With also doing no cuts (except the foreshots). So I can get my mass of alcohol.
Then I water it down to say 20 - 30% and run it through again, but this time doing my cuts. Will I get a good spirit?
What I'm essentially asking is if letting it clear is totally essential if I do a stripping run first then clean my still out and then do the final run with my cuts.
Any advice is appreciated greatly. Thank's in advance.
Reflux stripping run. Yes or no?

I find the more I drink, the more interesting others become.
