What measures can I take to guard against cloudy spirit?

The best method is to clear your wash before distillation using Still Spirits Turbo Clear, this will drop most of the excess sugars and sediment to the bottom of your wash. Then add some “Distilling Conditioner” or “Foam Stop” to your still boiler (when filling it with the cleared wash) immediately before starting your burn. The clearing agent stops most excessive sugars being transferred to the boiler at all, whilst the ‘foam stop’ stops foaming in the boiler during the burn, (which is caused by high concentrations of proteins and unfermented sugars in the wash itself).

Note: Distilling conditioner allows distillation even if your wash has not fully fermented out.
