have a question for one of the mentors. after i ran my last mash, i wanted to temper some of my clear rather than making apple pie. starting product was around 100 proof (tails), i mixed 1 quart of shine with 1 pint of water bringing it down to 80 proof (hydrometer tested). within an hour or so, the tempered shine started to turn cloudy. i tried to chill the shine in the fridge thinking that it may help some and it made it worse, so i took it out and uncapped it hoping that may clear it up and that didnt help. that shine was used for apple pie since it looked so shitty..lol... i tried it again with the same starting proof and a different type water and got the same results. first time i used distilled water and the second time i used bottled drinking water. any ideas as to what the hell im doing wrong or how to keep my tempered shine from turning cloudy? any help would be greatly appreciated.
