Can you just run it back through the still (T500 in this case) and start again?
WTDist wrote:try scrub turkey and some oak dominoes. 15g/l leave for a month or 2 from TPW or any neutral. Its not bad but still not as good as what im drinking now but better that that jd crap from SS. BTW JD is my favorite drink and no home brew essence comes close, i did once but no idea how i did it, it was just luck i did it once and it was a turbo with no cuts with essence mellow oak and charred dominoes from JB barrels but i never made it again. Best to try a CFW or something
shavings will leach tannin's quick so dont over do them. oak dominoes... go as long as you want, just the longer you age the less g/l you should use
Ive also aged my nuetral with the dominoes and necesarry essence added at beginning also, say you have 2L @ 65% in and it makes 3.25L @ 40% when watered, add the necessary essence for 3.25L into the 2L. It might age together better or mellow out more. I still dont like essence though
WTDist wrote:up to you, you may like it or may not, i found that when i added essence it still needed a couple of days to a week to mellow out so adding it in the jar with the domino made it mellow quicker and was mostly ready when i want it.
i wouldnt char the end of the domino stick though, just sides. the ends leach tannins faster so best to not increase surface area there

I have been watering down to 38% and using reduced amount of Edwards Tennessee Essence, but for the wife's southern, as per recipe Edwards again. Comes out nice.
