Okay, so I have 1 gal of sweetfeed sugar wash stripped and 1 gal of head and tails. I was going to use everything to make a spirit run. If together the abv is 50% + do I dilute it, or run it low and slow at that %. This is only my third spirit run, and the other's I diluted the low wines going into the still. I looked a lot on line and could not find the answer. I did see somewhere that diluting the charge will dilute the taste of the final product, but was not sure. If I pull start keeping the run and it is coming off the still at 80% how does the added water dilute the flavor? Help would be appreciated.
Unrelated but all in the spirit run theme. I understand that adding part of the original wash into the spirit run charge will add a bit more of the flavor though into the spirit. I don't have any of the original, but I could do a quick one or two gallon sugar molasses wash and add that. Is it worth it?
Thanks
