Re: cloudy wash
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.
Always give the hardest job to the laziest person because they will always find the easiest way to do it.

Re: cloudy wash
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.

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.

Re: cloudy wash
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.
