Finished color to distill....
I just started using vodka star after such a good recomendation in ths forum, i just completed my first vodka star brew, should i run it thru my distiiller, or waitt it clears before that? Cuz any way after distilling it it willl be double distilled, ( general advice in home brewing, distill 3 runs to get rid of most sediments and then distill again for a very neat neutral spirit)

Im presuming you are running an air still if so the clearer the better to avoid puking ie overboiling
even with a larger T 500 or the like I always fine it to reasonable clearness to avoid carrying over old yeast flavours etc which in turn makes the spirit run that much cleaner

after its finished fermentation degass it thorough for a day or 2 then place it
somewhere cold and let it stand to clear once cleared rack into another bin

+1 on clearing
If you are after neutral then burned yeast is a difficult taste to remove even with an efficient column, and several distillations.
