New Old Bullet from Forbes NSW

G'day gents Hupthomas here just wanted to introduce myself . :greetings-waveyellow:

Have a bought comercial Still spirits 25lt reflux still & being the bought turbo yeast wash route untill I stumbled across this site & joined.Have put down my first tried & proven Tomato paste wash as per instructions & run the 25 lt wash through my still today. I read the instructions on taking cuts & now have 16 jars with 250mls in each.I chucked the first 150mls down the drain.I have left the lids off & have been sniffing jars.The first 4 jars reduce my nostril hair to zero everytime I take a wiff.The remainder smell pretty pleasant.

I was wondering in view of that I only have the above still & because I didn't put the the wash through a pot still first , can I drink the pleasant smelling stuff without having to filter it ? The first 4 jars that smell should I put them through my filters seeing as I have them?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Cheers Hup

Gday Hup

Its suggested to take the first 50ml and discard it, I have been taking out the first 100ml. Although its not much, you could drop yours down to 100ml quite safely. There are quite a few uses around the house and in the shed you can use the foreshots, cleaning things is a good one. Quite a few members have posted some good ideas in a thread so its not wasted.

There are also a few threads and plenty of info on cuts, I cant help with that.

Welcome to the forum.

Mate I have the same still and only do TPW and never bother with filtering.

Save the stuff that singes your nose hair and stick in the next run. All my tails (smells of wet cardboard, or wet dog, easy to pick the smell) and all the heads get saved. After 4-5 runs I have enough saved up to do a freebie run and I get a nice return running all heads and tails through watered down to about 40%.

I hate waste but I don't wanna drink heads or tails so re-running them is a great recovery method for all your efforts and for what is still a very high abv neutral.

gday mate

Welcome to the forum :handgestures-thumbupleft: if you have the filter and the bits, you might as well filter the stuff you are going to drink as it was a turbo so filtering should improve it keep the rest for a feints run later. i never filter my tpw washes but I also strip them.. Theres plenty info for you here, enjoy.
