Hi all,
I made a 2 litre batch of limoncello, but I must have left too much pith on the skin and it's bitter.
I don't want to just dump it. Would it be crazy to run it? Anyone tried it before? Would my column taste like lemon forever?

Re: Redistilling bitter limoncello
Try adding a teeny pinch of salt. It kills bitterness. Just a little bit though.. like 0.005% or something. If it makes no difference then yeah might as well re-run it.

But you can always redistill and presuming you wash your column, No, the smell shouldn't last. The only downside to redistillation is inefficiency and loss of alcohol.
