H12rpo seems to have answered your question,but, YES, you can reclaim drinking alcohol from mistakes.
Experience, you can't buy it

Hi, Thanks for the replies, Ive distilled tonight, kept the temp to 60 degrees and stopped when flow started to slow, all looks and smells good, thanks again

The other tip for the t500 is that although the manual says there are no ‘tails’ there are. Maybe 5he abv doesn’t drop significantly but when the output water t3mp rises rapidly abov3 65 degrees at the end of the 4un, stop collecting there as it starts getting that wet Labrador smell and flavour..
By all means collect it separately to bung in yr next batch.

If you are using the column and not the alembic, yes, just bung it all in and redistill. It will leave behind all the flavour

Alcohol reclamation

2017-11-28T14:04:15+00:00

Hi, Ive been using a T500 to try to make Gin, ive made some but gone overboard with the cinnamon, Ive also made other spirits using the essences, non of these are brilliant, is it possible to reclaim the alcohol just by re distilling in the t500, even though this may take several passes or am i stuck with the flavours,, thanks all
