Might be that the wash needs degassing in order for the turbo clear to work, you could try stirring it etc, then putting it somewhere cold like vino-tino suggests.

Personally I don't bother clearing anything anymore but that depends on your Still, I use a 50lt keg boiler, if yours is an Airstill then yes, try and clear it as much as you can.

Good point

It depends - there is clear and clear.

Do you mean white wine clear, a bit murky, or magnolia paint ?

A bit murky and I would run it IMO thats as clear as it needs to be.

id say it looks like iv dropped a pint of milk in water..
