judgment Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've recently noticed that one of my whiskeys has some particulate matter floating in the bottle. I looked this up and found that it could be considered "normal" based on the idea that some particulate matter may accrue during the aging process etc. However, I am curious how this is perceived in the craft distillery community; whether this is considered acceptable/unacceptable; desirable/undesirable, etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninWV Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Are you talking about flocc or other particles? Depends on how much is there. We filter some of that flocculation out with a paper filter but leave some as well. You can raise the proof and keep it in solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look up the word "flocculation" but I believe that is what it is. Small white particles, possible "naturally occurring lipids held in suspension". Certainly not anything like the junk in this bottle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natrat Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Also, do you use a de-foaming agent? I know of at least one that leaves residue in the condensor, and comes out in later distillations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
