I would like to add though, the young oak flavour is really good and if you leave it outside in the cold the crap falls to the bottom.

I think you are onto something with the homemade oak. If it was fresh oak it would normally be seasoned for 6 years. Try it with just JD chips and see if you still have the same issue.

You could also use 'nuking' to try a small batch of homemade.

All oak is not the same.

I wonder if 1 year is not enough to season the wood and I'm getting some kind of residue out of the wood?

The tap water test showed the same result, I have left a bottle outside tonight in the cold and if all the crap falls to the bottom at least I have a work around.

When this happened before I sent it through a coffee filter and it got rid of all the bits but left it hazy.

I have a suspicion it may be the oak as it is only 1 year seasoned so maybe a sap issue?

I get what looks like a lump of cotton wool apear in the bottle, if you shake the bottle it just sends the whole lot hazy, you can seperate it off but some will return, any ideas how to stop this?

My thoughts are I am collecting on the spirit run too deep and dragging something undesirable over.
The bottle in the pic is proofed to 47% as I read this would fix but as you can see did not.
