"i distilled my sugar whiskey perfectly. 140-150 proof and crystal clear.
when i cut it, it gets cloudy. i've used all different types of water,
distilled, mountain, soft, tap. any suggestions for cutting it down?"

"Most likely cause of cloudy spirit after dilution, unless really bad water is oils. This happens when you go to far into tails. Assume you are useing a reflux still, in which case your ABV is just so-so and you are not makeing your final cuts anywhere near enough.

Or else you are running it too fast, without adequate reflux. Both will introduce tails oils which adjoin into larger molocules when diluted and form a milky or cloudy apperance.

Fill a bottle chuck full, put it into the fridge till very cold, shine a flashlight across the top and you will be able to see the oil slick floating on thetop.

Best idea is to re-run it with more attention to cuts at the end. Make early cuts. You will lose nothing as you still collect the tails for later distillation when you have saved enough to make a full run of the faints= heads and tails.

Take your yield off in small increments, say pint amounts, number them, and let rest overnight unsealed, coffee filter on top. then combine via taste, smell and ABV. Stripping runs first makes a vast difference."
