Low Wines and Feints
Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2019 11:51 am
Hi all,
Just wondering about the value of an all feints run or to mix them in with stripped low wines for a spirit run or to just dispose of them entirely?
I have a 2" boka that I use to strip and then add about a 1m packed extension to do the spirit run. I have about 15 litres of feints from previous spirit runs which have included TPW, FFV and Kale washes. I currently have about 6 litres of stripped low wines (approx 70% ABV) and am wondering if it would be better to run the feints in with the low wines or just a feints run alone?
In my previous spirit runs I was fairly conservative in my cuts selections. I ended up with about 8-9 litres of finished product and ended up keeping about 5 and the rest went into the feints. I am wondering as to how much would be worth keeping after another spirit run or am I just wasting my time with the feints and should just stick to the stripping and spirit runs that I have been doing up until now?
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Natjac.
