I have a lot of cider from last years harvest 100 gallons, its all finished at 0.988 about 7%...I want to make apple brandy which I will have to to use the pot still for as the column will strip the flavor. But on the gin which I will spirit run on the pot still with botanicals what is the best equipment for the stripping run? the condensor or the pot still.
Cheers
note.....just seen you should not use the condensor for stripping runs.

Well, I would say the pot for any strip.
And the pot again for any Gin.
Am I missing something here? :)

Hey, I just re-read this, and think that I understood the original question?

It does not matter how you produce the neutral used to produce your gin.
Don't recommend using strip with botanicals
Is that what you wanted to know?
