Just pointing out that a large surface area airs the spirit better/faster.
A decanter may not offer this?
I prefer to air on a sunny window cill,under an open window when this wonderful climate allows.

Thanks Chuck:

Okay, will let todays run air overnight. Put my stuff in a glass decanter and cheesecloth with an elastic band.

Yes. I air mine in large canning jars with a paper towel held over the opening with an elastic band. This allows the volatile compounds to evaporate off while preventing mass fruit fly suicides in the summer.

24 hour airing of final distillation

Read somewhere on this forum that its best to leave the final cut to air for 24 hours before filtering. Can`t find that article at this time. Is it really that important to do that before filtering it thru the essencia?
