First time TPW for me. Followed the recipe on the first page to the letter.
I'm impatient haha.
My wash has finished fermenting. It's been down for 7 days and has a SG between 980-990.
I know I'm meant to wait for another week or two for it to clear itself more, but will I do any harm running it tomorrow?
Thanks in advance.

when the old wog boys, (my dad and his mates) did a fruit wash all the skins,and dreggsy stuff was put into the wash/boiler... guess what came out... clear booze.... all this 'wait till it settles ' stuff can be a bit over the top..really, it is just to prevent all the burning flavours if it cooks onto the internal element/s.
Strictly speaking... i ts better to wait... but... it aint the gospel.

Not sure how I drag it off slower as there is no speed dial on my setup. lol
Will see how I go and report back next week.
