leftover from making brandy

Post by AbsoluteKeenan »

I have this idea that I should save the wine leftovers after I distill it into brandy, but I cannot find where I read this. To be more clear what I'm asking about here is this. I dump the wine into the still, distill it down until the liquor I have is 20-25 percent. Then I have this stuff that is left in the still. Do I reuse this somehow?

Thanks

I dont' save the stuff left in the still pot after distillation of wine. But, I do save the feints ...the distillate left over after doing cuts...to add in to next batch of wine that I run.
