Brandy: to strip or not to strip?

[Scribbler]

So my big pail of brandy is almost reading zero on the specific gravity tester. my pail is twice as big as my still, so I have two options as near as I can figure: 1) do two stripping runs and then a combined spirits run, 2) just do two spirit runs with the brandy wash I've got and then blend both spirit runs together after they have aired out.


what do you suggest? I am a little worried that doing two stripping runs might lose me too much flavour.... is this a real concern? to avoid this, I could run my strip until it goes way way way into the tails, maybe collecting a litre or so more than I normally would?

I'm a little worried that without doing two stripping runs it will be harder for me to make the appropriate cuts.....


any help would be appreciated!!!
