HELP....... in the middle of a spirit run.
I've discarded the fores but forgot to discard the heads as our toddler was playing up.
What do I do?!

Should I just turn off the still. Add what I've collected and start again?
If so do I need to discard another 50ml or just collect a heads cut then onto hearts

Keep going and collect the rest.

The fores are gone they will not come back.

When you have collected everything dilute it again and re-run it following the instructions for a spirit run but omitting to cut the fores they have gone.

You will now have triple distilled spirits, each time you dilute the spirits you leave more of the nasty's behind. If this turns out as nice as I think they will, you may want to give your toddler a nice present.

Serendipity is a wonderful thing.

So should I collect down to 30% as per Aidan's guide?
I was just going to stop the still. Add what I've got back in and restart but omitting the heads

If you finish the run you will get an even cleaner result diluting with fresh water. Either way will work. Just make sure things have cooled down substantially if you pour it back in.

It's all back in the still this time.
I'm guessing when I start collecting output I just collect my heads and then move onto the hearts and carry on as usual?
Out if curiosity how would I go about triple distilling with the smartstill?

Two ways

1) [Striping run] dilute [striping run] dilute [spirit run with cuts]

2) [Striping run] dilute [spirit run with cuts] dilute [spirit run with cuts]

You will get more with 1) better quality with 2)
