I'm aging product in gallon jars with oak sticks out in an unheated shed. The weather just turned cold and I noticed flocculation in the jars.
Should I strain that out?
Will it go back into solution when the weather warms up?
Is it good/bad/indifferent?
How cold is the shed?
If you made cuts to get a flavour profile you are happy with I wouldn't consider it a bad thing.
It is possible to have fusil oils go into separation in the cold.
Probably more likely to happen when a pot still is used for making whisky."What harms us is to persist in self deceit and ignorance"

Yellow Label... I put that sh#t on everything!
It gets down to whatever the weather is, so the lower 20s F isn't unusual.
Pot stilled.
Should I filter? I cut it for aging, not drinking white. I expect to let it go 5+ years.
leave it to age. you can always freeze it and run it through a coffee filter after aging.Use all your senses, and its not that hard. You just have to pay attention.
Procrastinate, you'll make better whiskey.
