Smartstill filter

Thanks AM - that's the route I'll go down then.

My first batch from the stripping run is just coming through now, so I might just get a nice little tipple for Boxing Day!

Agreeing with Aidan here,filter before flavouring.
The way to go.
And then enjoy,boxing day at yours then?

I've just re-read your post.
I would strip,spirit run,carbon filter.flavour,and then proceed with the flavouring run.
I'm content for those that know better to jump up and down on me,but I see little point in filtering a stripped wash,flavouring,and then doing a spirit run.
I concede it will taste a lot better than the product produced from an air/smart still out of the box instructions
Filter a spirit run. And then do your flavours,with the cleanest neutral you produce.
So maybe Friday not Thursday at yours?

Sounds like I've got a full house over Christmas then! I'm half way up on the right hand side

That sounds interesting Robert - I take your post to mean that, in effect, it would be a triple distilled gin. Quite like the sound of that.

I should get enough from the stripping run to do two spirit runs. I was planning to do one with the botanicals as I mentioned, and the to other was going to add a shot of commercial flavouring as a comparison. But I think I'll change the second run to your suggestion and then compare the two.

I'll let you know how I get on when I sober up
