Nothing.
You have heaps of botanical oils in your gin.
You could dilute it with neutral to stop it from louching.
Your Carter Head is working very well. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
I just leave mine go cloudy when diluting it, doesn't hurt it.
It's just an excess of oils.

Has any one done this recipe with a pot still? I have a 4" modular pot still and was thinking about doing either a TPW wash or a weetbix wash to get low wines, then when I have enough do a spirit run. Once that is done put the botanicals in a hops bag or something similar and using the hearts from the spirit run to make the gin. Do you think that this will work?

It will. it will work very well indeed, just let it sit in the hearts for a minimum of 1 week.
its how I make ALL my gin. I always up the corriander and juniper content myself as these flavours dont seem to come through as well by steeping....

I use filtered town water for diluting to put back through the still. I buy Tamborine spring water when finishing off to bottle.
