I have lots of wine and liquor leftovers after a party. Can

So I'm planning on doing a run tomorrow through my reflux still. Would it be okay to throw in some' left behind after a party' booze: 3/4 bottle of Campari, bottle of cheap whiskey and a couple bottles of wine that were left?

Any need to strip this? Can it just all be tipped in on top of my TPW without the need to strip the cheap crap first?

(PS: who the hell drinks Campari? Eeeewwww!)

Don't run the campari just keep it and give it to people that expect a free drink when they come round that stuff tastes like crap
But there's nearly always a bottle at mine lol

Why risk buggering up a lovingly made TPW?

good question, it's just stuff I'd never drink and my stocks are lowish so figured I'd beef up the ABV output. But yeh I don't want to wreck a nice TPW...quality not quantity.

run the wine through by itself .. should strip down ok .. i tried it with 2 x 5l casks of goon ... ended up with just over 2lt of 93% neutral ... came up alright ... not saying its something I would do regularly .. but better than wasting left over wine ... hopefully there are no piggy butts in the bottles :-0 :laughing-rolling:

with the spirits ... run it through a filter .. rips all flavours out ... back to clear neutral at whatever percentage ...
