Identify this gunk in my spirits

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Identify this gunk in my spirits

Post by HardKnox »

In my jars of spirits that were cut to 50% ABV with spring water (from a local source that is used for drinking water), there is some sort of 'growth'. I suspect it is minerals. There is none of it in the white dog 90% ABV jars. But there is also none in a jar that is holding pure drinking water. Here is a link to a picture of said 'growth'.

My question is, have any of you ever seen this? Is it some horrible flesh eating micro organism?


I am lousy at posting pics. I'll try to do a little studying to figure it out soon. :oops:

ETA: Pic link worked. :)
