mixing up faints

[crow]

The tails from these here figs are pretty rank would ppl think ya could chuck it in with say a sugar wash and clean them up in the refux or just turf them?

[NotBenStiller]

how much figtails (just invented a new word :laughing-rolling: ) are you talking about?

if they're as nasty as they sound you may never dilute it enough with sugar wash feints :))

just use the figtails for metho

:laughing-rolling: wrong end of the run for that the forefigs will do for that and I figured the fighead could too . Lots of tails I'll have to let it air to see how much but lots as in ltrs

[law-of-ohms]

try and re-run it, what's to loose?

or

Dialute with water, add baking soda / bicarb leave it for a week and reflux to high heaven.

excuse my ignorance but what does bi carb do?

Apparently it cleans it up a bit and compresses heads, never tried it myself but there's plenty of info out there in topics covering low wines ;-)

Hey look, don't get all funny with me, I know how much work you done, but are the "fighearts" rank?

Seriously, just run them again if theres enough. If it dosn't clean up, then try bi-carb or tinea treatment.
I save my slivovitz/plum brandy tails till the next year. Not even meant to cut slivovitz, but I like to.
Save untill you can do another fig run, blend them in then. They might loose a lot of baddies sitting for that long.

Or just run everything through 5 plates and not have these problems :teasing-tease:

I don't know if I would call the hearts rank , they have a flavor that I didn't expect but have tasted before . It took a coulpe of glasses to dawn on me that the flavor is mezcal , Guerrero you know the one with the Aztec worrior on the label well really quite like that so the sort of drink I would have once a yr :doh: but not bad probably quite good in fact if you like that sort of thing
