  1. Well, the setting at the moment is such that I work on a small batch trial c/o a co-packer that has all the facilities needed but he does not produce his own treated water. Being a small batch of some 100 gallon or less to be diluted, the solution is to purchase and use bulk, commercially available treated water. Given Silk City's claim that such water is "not been treated with any kind of antimicrobial - chlorine, bromine, etc - and could contain some kind of hazardous nasty... Algae loves this stuff"--the question remains ( whether such contamination is realistic or just hypothetical) as to whether or not such (in all likelihood-) minute contamination will or will not be 'taken care of' by the, say, 40% alcohol content in the product... I am sure some small and/or experimental batch producers face a similar issue... "
  2. Still wondering re. whether commercially available in bulk distilled water, and, to my understanding RO water that may face the same challenge, could contain risky organic presence and, if so, assuming almost negligible presence (?)would not be mitigate for by the strength of the spirit... Remember--fortified wines were invented for such reason...
  3. Does that mean that, after all, commercially available distilled water in bulk is risky to use in spirit dilution? Or... would the spirit content kill minor microbial presence? And... would the same considerations apply to commercially available RO water in bulk?... Never read in the forum any references to such issues and challenges...
  4. At the store I saw, in fact, distilled water that showed in the "ingredients" list Ozone... Any idea, anyone, how THAT would affect diluting/proofing-down?...
  5. Will, if you will... you quote 4 methods for obtaining water that is appropriate for proofing or, proof reduction. Other than their production costs differences, is any more appropriate for and/or less likely to create the dreaded haze in the finished product?
