I have several liters of TPW spirit that I don't really like the taste of.
Can I blend it into my next grain wash distillation without ruining the grain wash result?

I wouldn’t because you will dilute the grain unless of course the grain is going to be made into neutral

Yes it is, so maybe add it in small amounts over several wash distillations?

Just dilute the TPW to 40% and use it to add on future runs :handgestures-thumbupleft: this way you will be bumping up the ABV of the wash your running and give you a much better yield :handgestures-thumbupleft:

So not adding 700mls of 90+ to 20L of wash at distillation, will that effect the wash?

Is it really necessary to dilute it to 40% first? Just throw in enough of it at 90% to keep the final abv that you are going to run (this + wash at 10-15%) under 40%.

I don't see the point of adding more water.

Unless by "several litres" of this product you mean 10 or more, I would just throw it in with your next neutral wash. It isn't going to take a 10% wash over 40%.

Your not putting it in the mash , your adding it to the boiler charge.
And Puk is correct , just add enough so that the charge in the boiler is under 40% so this will depend on how much you have (may need to be used up over a couple of runs ( boiler charges)
Or you could just rerun the entire thing by itself by diluting to below 40% and just run it again and see if the taste changes for the better

Its 5 L of 40%
Just running it through carbon atm to see if it improves, failing that and from the comments so far I think I will blend it 500-700ml at a time to the next distillation runs.
Cheers all for the help

How did the carbon filtering go?

I've got a bunch of vodka from when I was first starting out and is a bit rough. I've been thinking about grabbing a bunch of activated carbon to filter it.

Just redistill it , much better result than trying to filter

Thanks Stig, I'll do that.

Cut the boiler charge to 28% -30 % ....water is a great filter......gives the tails a place to hide.
