rehash run some wine
Went thru the post RUN SOME WINE and have a question about distilling wine for spirits. I have 24 liters of Nance wine that is three years old and nobody will drink as the flavor of the nance is way to strong. this wine finished out at 13% but was treated with campden tablets on the last racking before bottling. now according to some of the posts on RUN SOME WINE because I used the campden tabs when i distill this I am going to end up with some nasty flavors. I know there was some confusion regarding sulphites and sulphides and I know campden tablets are metabisulphite, so my question is if I pre warm and stir to release the sulphites from the wine will I get a clean spirit? Using a stainless steel boiler with a 2" copper column and have the option of packing the column . Another question while on this subject of running wine,made 18 liters of strawberry wine from a bottled pulp that i found out after the fact that it was treated with sodium benzoate .It never finished fermenting only went to 11% alcohol and is still very sweet. Can i run this?
