Processing Feints

In the past I've only run tails down to 20% abv for feints collection. I figured at some point it's not worth throwing electricity at it for diminishing returns. I now have decent solar power on the house and running the still on a sunny day is free. My feints usually come from pot stilled UJSSM and I have usually run them through my VM column to turn into neutral.

Am I gaining any drinkable neutral by running my UJSSM feints down further than 20%? Does drinkable goodness get extracted from the horrible tails at really low abv?

Cheers.

I just keep my feints until the next run so the boiled wash is that little bit higher ABV which does give a bigger yield :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I build them up and do an all feints run
I have found if you do overly safe cuts on your normal runs your feints run is great but if you are picking the cuts just right then the feints run doesn't give you as good a product. one reason I don't add them into my next run is if trying to get some repeatability and expectation going for each run. if im chucking tails in then it starts messing with my expected outputs.
