Purely because it is handy, I have always run my Smart still on the kitchen draining board, it has never yet mis-behaved, but I guess that practise might aid in clean up time, should it be called for.

IMHO...Bumble...don't worry matey, one thing you could do is only fill the AS with about 3 ltrs...that way it'll have a wee bit more headroom...just to play safe....another thing stand the still in a large bowl....then if the worse happens it's contained.

I've run a cloudy wash in the past...with no problems, for your next wash just use sugar and baking yeast, that way you will not need those clearing agents.

TBH, not too many.
Use some boil pieces, of your choice, or recommended persuasion, and if it takes your fancy use some conditioner or butter/oil, I have never used the later but recommend piling bits of copper in there.
Welcome to a world of pushing yourself beyond where you may normally go.
And no, we do not have the answers to all your questions.
We all make this up as we go along,and try and show the hard earned shortcuts for the good of all.

If you choose to do so,I will tidy up after you.
2. Trying to run a bi-part clearing agent a second time seldom works.
I believe most wine homebrew sites would advocate a few crushed Campden tablets or a little Sodium Metabisulphate at this stage,and the coolest place that you can put it.
Failing that,run it cloudy with care,
You do not state your still so do not feel that I can offer much more.
Hope some of that was worthwhile.

Thanks! Not sure how my email showed up as my username but I changed it to what it was before

Wash still cloudy after super clear

2016-07-07T21:44:08+00:00

I made 2 25 liter turbo yeast sugar washes and let ferment for 12 days. I siphoned them both off and added super clear to each one. 3 days later one has cleared up like they normally do and one is still cloudy. I Picked up another super clear and added it to the cloudy wash and it still won't clear. I don't know what to do now, this has never happened before. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
