Hey all
Did a Mac rum run about 18 months ago had it on oak at 60% in pantry
Pulled it out and watered down to 38% with filtered rain water then filtered through paper towel as was a bit cloudy
48 hours later it is a bit like something is growing in there really don’t want to throw it as I have been patiently waiting for ages but worried it’s some type of bacterial thing seems to mix in when shaken ….??You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Nothing grows in 60% alcohol. Did you go deep into tails? What sort of paper towel was used?

I have vague memories of reading about "clouds" in vodka in here. Looks similar. Some kind of a louche I believe.(fussel oils from tails falling out of suspension when mixed with water). Be interested to hear other peoples thoughts.

Yeah I didn’t think anything would grow in 60% alcohol was normal paper towel tastes fine real fine and was clear for 24 hours after diluting was regular kitchen paper viva brand
Will try coffee filters next
Was hearts only I’m not greedy and only take the middle well as far as I’m aware
I have about 45 litres too do it’s second run on very soon if I ever get some spare time just don’t want it to be wasted

Does it look thick and gelatinous. How would it go being run through a strainer ?
Sucks that you have been aging it for 18 months for this to happen.
