iv just got back into brewing again and cant seem to get the wash to clear unless i leave it for 2 weeks. whats the best tackle for clearing a vodkastar wash.

regards

In the past I've used the Alcotec 24 Turbo Klar for the Vodka Star wash, but there are other brands that can do equally as well.

iv used it but it rarely clears unless its left for days.

might have a go at the kale wash from what iv been reading !

It depends - there is clear and clear.

Do you mean white wine clear, a bit murky, or magnolia paint ?

A bit murky and I would run it IMO thats as clear as it needs to be.

id say it looks like iv dropped a pint of milk in water..

Hi al, I don't know where you are based as you've not added your location to your profile, but, if you are in the UK, just leave it in the cold to chill. It should help to clear it quicker.

Good point

Might be that the wash needs degassing in order for the turbo clear to work, you could try stirring it etc, then putting it somewhere cold like vino-tino suggests.

Personally I don't bother clearing anything anymore but that depends on your Still, I use a 50lt keg boiler, if yours is an Airstill then yes, try and clear it as much as you can.

i actually use a aquarium pump and submerge it overnight lol.... mad scientist stuff but it works for degassing.
