Question about wine.......

Post by Dyce51 »

Wasn't sure where to put this topic ......if it is wrong place, my apology.....any way, I have a friend of mine that makes wine. He made a 10 gallon batch of Onion wine (an experiment). He does not like the flavor it created. He gave the 10 gallons (minus 2 glasses) to me. I am building a Boka Column for my pot still. I read the threads on using the Boka and doing a spirit run. My question is if I run the wine slow using the Boka, will it remove the "oniony" flavor and give me a good clean spirit? And also since it is 13%, I should get about 1.3 gallons after the spirit run is done, with about 3/4 gallon of hearts, correct?

the first taste was enough for me!!! When I finish the Boka this weekend.... I will have to see what happens (after the cleaning run, already have a 2 gallon simple sugar for cleaning)....I will post what the end result is....

sounds like the onion wine is a perfect candidate for the cleaning run.
